Hi, Breadman.

Sorry to hear you are losing - it was a terrible day. The only good thing I can say is that the two 8-pointers were not in the system proper - one was a Maiden and the other a 2 year-old. Hopefully today will be better.

I was testing another system on horse racing which did quite well for a short period of time and then crashed. I tried to identify horses that would be leading or be close to the lead on the home turn.

Hoping it might work on trotting and pacing because by my reckoning (I know very little about trotting) it is more difficult than horse racing for a horse to pass another one in a race because a trotter has to effectively overtake two horse-lengths: - the sulky and the horse itself - while only one horse-length in galloping racing. And the trotter has less time to do it because the home strait is shorter than in galloping.

Anyway, I began testing the system from Wednesday 5 May. The results to yesterday, Thursday 14 are:
31 races for 23 wins. The profit is $10.60 or 34% POT. There have been 30 placegetters. The profit is $5.30 or 17% POT.

Obviously the majority of them are odds-on which is a turn-off for many punters. One or two losing bets could put the system in the red. But in an earlier posting you stated "small fish are sweet" which I would assume you don't mind betting odds-on. So if you, or anyone, wishes I can list the selections here.
