Hi, Crasher.

You will see that one of the rules is to omit Maiden races. This was decided when we originally were looking at a minimum of 4 points difference between the first and second Unitab selections. The Maidens at that time were not profitable, but because all 4-pointers did not perform it was possible that was the reason. The system was then altered (6 March) so that there must be a minimum of five points between the first and second selections. Recently I've begun to separately monitor Maidens that have a minimum of 5 points difference, and the selections to date seem worthwhile. Another Unitab rule is to omit Slow and Heavy tracks, and I'm also seperately recording Slow/Heavy results which too seems promising, but it's still too early to tell.

I'm also looking at the ratings at Tabltd (NSW TAB) using the very same rules. Even though 5-pointers are showing a small loss, 6-pointers-plus to date have been profitable even though there have only been 22 selections before today. Today's only selection finished second, paying $1.50
