thanks Bhagwan,
have an open mind to everything so I always give an idea a chance and flick it around. I do, though, often scratch my head and wonder about the devotion to things like ratings. When I look at the form, and look at the ratings and see huge differences then I do wonder about the validity of them.

And I'm sure there is some smart cookie out there making a squillion by betting number 1 or 2 in every race, with a couple of qualifiers and using an even smarter staking plan to ride the bumps.

As I sit here watching the NSW TAB "latest results" list go past my eyes every day I cant help notice the number of times good old number 1 pops up - and how rare the non appearances are. :smile:

By the way, of the 11 races your system qualified for yesterday - using my alterations - 5 were at Northam which is one of those tracks, like the Gold Coast, where form seems to mysteriously go out the window so it was no wins at Northam but 5 places.

have a good day,
see ya
