How about we see some rated prices from you!

Just for interests sake my ratings had 7 winners from 11 races in the top 3 so I can't be too far off the mark. 2 of the others were 4th and 5th respectively, one paid more than $21 (rated $25) and the other returned to its best after being out of the winners circle for 11 months. Two winners, rated 2nd were available at what I would consider good value and would have been enough to show a profit if backed.

I constantly review my selection and pricing technique and where I apply bonuses/penalties (note horses are considered as individuals when doing this), this is the only way to learn.

Last Saturday it was 11/14 winners in top 3 with value winners (top rated only) Heptonstall, Badgers Wood, Satashi and A Deena.

Using the same staking method the outlay was 59 units for 225 return. Profit 166 units. Puts the 45 lost yesterday into proportion?

15/6/02
5/8 in top 3
only 2 top rated available @ price
20 out 61 in Profit 41

I don't really care whether you believe this or not, but perhaps you could check some old posts of mine where I provide complete ratings for the Toowoomba Cup and Weetwood. Neither winner was top-rated but both were over the odds.

I believe yesterday was just a bad day, besides it was ONLY 6 selections.

I shall finish my contribution to this discussion with another quote, not sure who to attribute this too.

"If people learn from their mistakes, does this mean that people who have never made a mistake, don't know anything?"
