My over-all strategy is simple: to establish a reliable selection method backed with a reliable staking method. The selection method starts with selecting races. I realkise there are limits. I also know it is not entiorely a mug's game because study and analysis will improve your strike rate and average dividend. But only to a point. I'm open to suggestions on a reliable selection method backed with a reliable staking method. I'm impressed with the "Retirement" Plan of Barry Hughes as posted by EI, I think. Going back through old TAB results on-line, it gives a reasonable profit on favourites. If I had a selection method that does better than favourites...

As I say, I'm open to suggestions and very grateful for all the advice so far.

Cheers
