DR RONS two major rules.
1. The hardest rule of all, come to terms with the fact you cant pick every winner.
2. Follows on from rule 1, dont get despondant when your selection loses, When coming up with a selection being from weight time class or any other ratings method, they all rely on the fact that the selection you come up with SHOULD win the race if all runners get a clear run. If you study the video replays you could probably make a case for why most losing horses lost. At the end of the day its not about backing a winner but about backing enough over a period of time at good enough odds to make a profit.
I never eliminate races to bet on because I think they are too difficult to choose a winner. No matter what sort of race it is, there WILL be a winner to it, some days I find others I dont. Its about getting value whatever your selection. Remember every horse has a chance, the rest might have to fall over but there is still a chance, youjust have to get theodds that you think relate to that chance happening. Remember Steven Bradbury at the winter olympics, you dont always have to be the best horse in the race to win it.
I think Ive prattled on long enough now.
