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.

Privateer and I had this discussion a few weeks back. Basically the race HAS to have more than 7 runners, watch how often your selection runs third in a seven horse field. after that, the size of the field only increases your dividend! I can confidently turn a 20 horse field into a 12 horse race anyway, if not, I don't bet on it.
