OK, to answer Michaelg's question about field sizes, top raters & quinella success, here is what I have recorded over the last 220 races.
Field sizes have been between 8-20, I haven't kept detailed stats though, but the average would be 9-14 runners.
The top rater seems to have a poor strike rate only winning 35 from 220.
With quinellas there have been 104 returns from 220.
So to keep it simple.
Field sizes 9-14 runners (average)
Top rater wins 35/220 (poor)
Quinellas 104/220 not bad, but would still run at a loss if boxing the top 6 costing $15.
The above is based on covering all races I have recorded which would be foolish to say the least.
Now I have to work out what distance & tracks to concentrate on, plus what type of wagering I should focus on.
