Here is another for someone to try ....

Lowest win % in a race and highest average prize money.

Rules :

1. Must have the highest average prize money (total winnings / races )
2. Must hve the lowest strike rate for winning
3. Must only be 1 selection per race.

This could work on the basis that the horse is usually in the money but can't seem to win. The trainer will usually drop the horse to get the win. And this is where we try to pick up the horse at some ok odds.

Anyone care to test ?

Good Luck.

wesmip, I think that these type of horses are ones that have won one big race and done nothing since, rather than "usually being in the money but not seeming to win". This of course would depend on the place strike rate. Having said this, my current method usually includes these animals as a possible selection on the off chance that they produce again, and usually at goods odds.
