I did have a copy of his book "winning in the 90s" not any more worse luck....from what i can remember he use to look at the horse last few runs and find one that was similar in class as todays run.....i don't really know what happend to Don Scott in his punting life....would love to read a book on it...did anyone ever write one.....using logic i would say that after using the same method for 20 years he was convinced they were perfect and yes failed to change with the times.....no i won't say it had to do with not adapting race times in to his form because i have never used them but have done ok....can anyone that uses them in Australia honestly say they are doing a lot better than others because they use times.....i am not saying they don't work...but many different styles work for different people.....Andrew Byer one of the United States best punters came here armed with his race times ideas and thought he would make a fortune from the bookies because he thought he had an advantage we didn't use.....he got smashed big time....now we have adapted times here but using ideas they we have developed suited to our tracks
