Hello Chrome Prince
Quote "I abandoned ratings and instead use professional handicappers and watch if there is money for their top rated horses.
This is the easiest approach for me." unquote. Even they get it wrong often.
What chance is there for us plebs? My thoughts are that with computers, too many zero in on the horse that on paper is the most likely winner. All using the same data and similar rating programs. True the majority of these do get up. But the price is slashed. On the TAB there is no way that backing these horses are viable. You have to cull the losers or get better prices. The only real way you are going to get better prices is decide your runner and to lock in the bookie early. Beton
