The trick is to find the right combination of all the various stats available.
Another tip...don't put too much weight on the course/distance factor, it falls into the "over rated" basket.

That's more what I meant. In other words you can't say that 50% of races are won by horses with a placing at their previous start, and then back every horse with a placing. It's more a combination of factors as you say Privateer.
Also I think that course / distance do matter in my opinion. While it may not be essential to include that a horse won on this course or over this distance - if it failed at every attempt then you have to bear this in mind or you're just throwing money away!
