Ironically, most of my best winners at good odd are all backmarkers.

The fact that a heck of a lot of races are won by leaders or on-pacers in blanket finish races [jog and sprint] is because most races are not truly run. Find a race with 2 or more leaders in it [good pace] and backmarkers come into their own.

Problem is for most punters is working out what the pace of a race is going to be [especially non-Sat. when there is no form guide telling us]. If a truly run race is hard to spot and becomes a bit of a guess, there is no point in backing a backmarker.
