Feather,

No, I just missed seeing R7/3. Both winners of R7 and R9 were smokies.
I've looked through my records for this system and a place or e/w system would work [going on system's past performance only]. I'm a masochist though and will stick to win :-)
I'm not sure how you came up with Sullivan's Creek at W/F, as it was $8 pp not the max $7. Did you use newspaper odds?

Make sure any selections pass the no more than 21 days since last start rule, it's easy to forget to check and it's a very important rule. I originally used 16 days, but it cut out too many runners [higher % of winners though]. The goal of the rule is to assure as much as possible, that runners pulled up soundly after their last run and haven't any niggling problems we don't know about.

Forget WA with this system. It's hopeless. Their class system is not part of the real world and the lower classes kill the system. The Westies probably understand it though :-)
