Hi, Bhagwan.

For about the first three weeks I tested races where there were 8 to 14 runners. It became obvious that 11 and 12 starters were the only way to go with Win, Place, Quinella and Trifecta betting. Overall, there was little difference between 11 and 12 starters.

I also originally looked at win and place strike rates. I discovered strike rates were very inconsistent with "lower class" racing. Last Saturday was the first Sat I applied the system - it had a small loss with Win but an acceptable profit for Place betting. I am monitoring Sat racing separately and will now also look at strike rates.
