This system relies on the little-known fact that some trainers indicate when their horse is ready to win, or which horse is the best horse in the stable, by adding a pom pom to the jockey's uniform

The rules of the system are as follows:

1. Only Saturday and Public holiday race in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Adeleide.

2. The selection must be the only horse in the race to carry a pom pom.

3. The selection must have been placed at at least one of its past three runs.

4. The selection must have had at least three starts.

5. The selection must be drawn no wider than barrier 11.

6. Each selection is to be backed each way.
