As the shorter priced nags have a terrible "lay" record I'll list any future selections ($3.50 pre-post and under) here as they might be worth backing each way? We'll see how they go.

hmm, actually michaelg i was saying the exact opposite - these nags have a terrible "win" & "place" record, & have had for as long as i have followed this game.
as for backing them eachway, i am sure there are quicker way to the poorhouse, but not too many.
laying them, well the only things i usually lay have 2 legs, big jugs & blond hair, & thats the extent of my knowledge on that subject.
i guess all i was trying to get across is that a horse dropping in distance & not in great form is still just a horse not in great form racing over a lesser distance. whether todays distance is going to suit, or whether the nag is fitter, etc, etc, etc, well that becomes a judgement call. but i never touch them & am the richer for it.
