"Cick into http://www.qtab.com after 10.00am. on any day of the week . You will see Mark Reads assesed point ratings . I have found by backing the 100pt.runners paying $3.20 or more in the newspaper ,the reults over the last 200 races were this. 29% stike rate. Profit on turnover 20% What I found amazing is is the number of double figure winners that pop up e.g. on Wed.9th. $11.20 $15.20 I would recomend level stake betting using a bank of $1.00 for every $100.00 If more than one 100pt. selection in race back them both as long as they are $3.20 in newspaper. All bets could be placed at once ,great for busy people ."

I wonder if you would like to look at the staking methods employed by Howard Sartin. You back two in a race, 60% on shorter priced and 40% on the longer, PROVIDED that the price is greater than $3.50.... I have been following this for many years... have adapted it to not backing anything shorter than $3.00..... Any of you fellows out there with spreadsheets able to check if this is profitable or not.... I do this as well as take quinellas, trifectas on the same races.....
At one stage I used to get a ratings from Prowin ( I think it was called, it was from a bloke in S.A., who had offered it through the Ausrace Digest)
I was in touch with him and told him of the method and he found that it did throw up better profits than merely backing the top rated horse....
Look forward to any comments...
