G'day All,
As promised earlier I have located an article from a magazine of a couple of years ago which is relevant to this topic. Unfortunately, the file is too large to attach to this post. If anybody wants a copy they can e-mail me at emerson754 at hotmail dot com and I'll send it. Let me know if you have winzip when you do.
I also have to agree with jfc re value obtainable from newspaper tipsters. Too many people follow them.
I reckon we could do better by establishing our own panel of raters for the three or four best races per weekend and follow them. Are the newspaper tipsters any better than our own forumites as a team? The ratings competition suggests our team would more than hold its own.
All the best
