Hi guys,

Sorry but you are fair dinkum paying for the bookies yearly holidays in ahiti and hawaii.

I have done form stats for Gold coast & Sydney bookies for 30 yrs and we had statistically proved that of races with 10 runners, 70% of winners came from 1-7,
When field go 12-14, barriers 1-9 provided 75% of winners, all tracks all conditions.

You may say you are getting value with outside runners but guys you ask any trainer and they don't want to be wider then about 7 or 9 at most.

They either have to be used up early and often have no gas left or go back and come around or through whole field.

Guys have a saver on your wides but just like cricket, close to the wicket (fence ) is the way to go.
