For all those praising outside barriers as 'value' just change 'outside barriers' to 'longshots' and you have a similar argument to the one you are collectivly using: better value and often ignored, but regularly get up. Track by track, distance by distance and horse by horse is the only way to consider o/s barriers. Failing that, ignore them [and long shots] and you will be better off in the long run.

I note that Jaffa hs been on the punt for 30yrs. Almost as long as I have. I stick with my original claim that anyone backing outside barriers havn't been backing horses long enough to know better. Ask any Jockey or trainer what they think.

Problem is Jaffa old son your stats are screaming : 70% come from barrier 1 to 7 in a 10 horse field. So that means the other 30% come from barriers 9 and 10 [ Meaning barriers on the G/C are even ]. Thought I better point that out because everyone ealse sure will !!

Cheers.
