The system is pretty easy,,,,
I usually look at a race and pick a selection...if its the fav or equal
fav i back it for $70.. if its at longer odds i then back the favourite as well
(Usually propost) to win my stake back of $100 ...eg. Fav $3.50 i'll back
it for $30 and the rest $40 on my selection.

The trifectas,,are
3 on the top line
6 on the 2nd and 3rd line

On the top line (2nd and 3RD line)
Is my selection
The favourite
The highest rater (This is usually the top Zip Sportsman ratings or the
Unitab rater) if the top rater is the fav then 2/7/7 as below.

The 2nd and 3rd line
The next 2 horses in betting and the horse running from the closest
barrier.

If my selection is the Favourite or the top rater is the fav.
then its 2/7/7

Top Line 2nd and 3rd line
My selection and the highest rater if my selection is the highest rater
then
the next in the market

2nd and 3rd line
The next 4 in betting and then the best barrier selection.

I basically wanted a system where i had a couple of backups...and thats
what the tris and the fav saver have been.
The trifectas have been surprisingly healthy.

The system seems to help you through the bad times...theres been times i've picked no winners but still have made a profit...today for example i picked only the one winner.
The system does however need you to make some decisions ,,,especially when
the you are picking your next in the market trifecta selections,,,sometimes they are fluxiating all over the place..
You could use the early markets as i did today ,, but if i can i like to be at the computer and placing bets 5mins before
jump...you then get that market mover selected in your tris.... sometimes when your fav selection blows out because the radio has got everyone excited about another runner its tempting to jump off...but i've
found you should stick to your fav selection because you should have studied its form as much as you selection anyway and be fairly confident that this fav saver is the biggest danger to your selection..

With the KS (keep safe) selection...this is usually another horse in the race that i think might be a bolter ,,,i dont usually back them for a win but i add them to my trifectas instead of the top rater... its been alittle costly at times but i have jagged a couple of huge trifectas with it.

Anyway good luck and with any new system you try ....use paper money till you get the hang of it and see for your self if its for you,,,use your own selections if you want or even try a tipster you feel confident
about....but be selective with the race you choose have a plan for the day and stick to
the rules....i've been real tempted some days to give up there was one last week where i lost the first 5 races,,,but i then jagged a $1250 tri and a few winners and had a huge day....

ps.
My winning percentage isn't that good but they way the system works it lets you go for the value runner and still have that security of the saver. I would be ahead if i had backed my selections straight out but i'm not sure i would of had the guts to back some of those selections if i didn't have the backups in place. It's real head games but i'm happy so far with the result...but time will tell :smile:
