"I just backed a thing in the last at Ipswich I had it rated 3rd pick at about $6.. It wins and pays 26 bucks... thats what I mean by trusting your ratings... who cares if no one agrees with you... "

Amen!!! Great words of advice there XPT
well done.

Picking winners is easier for some people than actually backing them properly.
A lesser punter would have sacked his 3rd rated horse..esp if losing, and switch to "follow the money" or the fave...only to see his 3rd rated horse get up..Now THAT really hurts!

All the best
P.S just saw your reply about Counter Agent..thought so...it was ready to climb over the top of them....maybe next time...
