Actually speaking there Vortech this part concerning,
A horse travelling from one place to another was someting,
I had never considered.

Last year a ratings service ran some contest that i won can't remember,
Exactly what it was but the prize was a free copy of Edition=2,
Trevor Johns book racing my perfect investment.

Chapter=5 page=19 is the heading,
"Have horse will travel" talks about,
Trainers who float there horses long distances,
In search of a race to win.

It poses the question why would a trainer in this day and age,
With float costs etc travel way out of there territory to win.

He goes on to explain that a few years ago in February,
Race 4-12 a horse called plan ahead was entered in a 3yo quality.
He said in fact it was just a race, just a normal 3yo race, pure and simple.

Plan Ahead was the only horse the trainer was bringing from Stawell
Around 505 km away and a 1,000 km round trip.
The horse was 5th up from a spell and in his last 3 runs had suffered bad luck in the run including 2 runs with severe interference.

He says so based on that little pen picture what price would you be happy with.

It won and paid $67.00 doesn't say what tote or bookies.

There are others examples as well.

Got me thinking both ways as my previous post.

Now look what i have done another "BARNY" post,
About to appear re his ideas think outside the square,
Can see what he is trying to say not sure if he uses this?.

I use this in one of many non-conforming filters you could say.

Let me say this you have to spend money to make money,
Even though this book i won i have spent plenty over the years,
Buying systems books and subscribing to paid rating,
Services to get where i am today.

Rules from systems books and experience is what i use Gleaned from all that money spent over the years.

And i will continue to do it.

Cheers.
