Thanks Horse Whisperer. I use my own rating method. I've tried to go outside the excellent, logical criteria of the mainstream following the principles of Don Scott etc. While they identify a large number of winners, just about everyone is doing them so the prices are short. With reliable markets put up nice and early by several of the online bookmakers I'm now able to place my bets in a single batch. I tried following this method several years ago betting race by race but because there can be long runs of outs found it wearing and frustrating. Also, work commitments meant that I was constrained by time. It's been a bit of a dream run this year but it has thrown up excellent winners in the past (Sapio $156/1 Doomben Cup, Frenzilian $150+ and Kindrate $90 are a ferw I can recall off the top of my head). I do know that being a successful punter is one of the ultimate challenges so I'm never over confident. Anyway, hope it keeps up and thanks for your comments.
