Dear DarkyDog2002,

Thanks for your comments, nice to see I'm not alone doing the assessments on a Sunday

Well believe it or not Darky I do it all myself... I do not subscribe to a rating or pricing service, I concentrate only on Sydney Metropolitan races and I assess EVERY runner and EVERY race...

Then reverse the exercise on Thursdays to reveal my runner list for Saturday... I find the mid week races a bit low in class and so usually monitor them only. These races and provincials feed runners into the metro tracks so you need a handle on 'em.

I'm a professional computer programmer and so digesting all this info is a lot easier than doing it by hand, you could do everything I do with a pencil and paper, but it would take a while.

Normally I only come up with two or three selections on a Saturday with a hit rate of 70+ % .. (except for yesterday..33% Grrrr)

I am every trying to improve and that's why I frequent this site, I have so much more to learn.

Nice talking to you Darky, it's good to know there's someone else who can see the big picture...

Kind Regards

OzPunter
