The reason you never see a beaten length rule [far more logical than a place rule] is that it can't be run through a data base [backfitted].

Hi Crash,

beaten length is not all that difficult to include in a database. This info is included in most good formguides, Cyberhorse included, and is imported into Price Predictor Pro.

Price Predictor Pro has a last start margin setting for use in system testing, which can be set to a negative number to indicate that a selection must have won by more than this amount at it's last start.

I must agree that it can be a valualbe selection tool, as I have one system which uses this alone and over the past 8 months has had 130 selections for a 34% S/R and a 25% flat stakes POT..... It is arguably my best "system"....

Cheers,
Chris.
