Mark,

Thanks for the posts. Really interesting and I'll paper trade this myself to see how I go. Your responses have been very helpful and I understand eah race can be different so not surprised by that.

It all makes sense. I think I understand your angle and I can see how this works quite easily if you have some idea on what your doing. For example if the market is near 100% you only need to get 1 or 2 horses on the higher side and your over a 100% book by a very small percentage. If you can get 3-4 horses on the higher side you are probably showing a few % points profit.

The real trick I beleive is getting on quickly and knowing which horses may firm/drift and thus which would hurt or help your book.

I really appreciate your answers to what I have posted, especially posting an example. Your a top notch guy to be sharing it.

Just one more question and you have probably answered this elsewhere but do you use any software to make this easier ? ie there is software that you can click dutch once you have some horses layed already and it will do the others for you.

Thanks again.
