Not brand new to this, but new at such things as keeping records, trialling systems etc. Before that a casual fun better.

LOT of about 13.6% over 100 races with a fairly mechanical elimination method for picking placegetters in the trial I mentioned. Need at least 200 race sample to mean anything at all though really. I'm not getting excited.

I'm using the Zip ratings from the Sportsman coupled with recent form factors like last start and days since last start. In my sample only races with 12 or less runners.


Placegetter. You are obviously highly selective about races. Is number of runners a main factor? Simple maths says it must be easier to choose a first, second or third from a small field than from a large.
