In any race, bet a horse if it is the only previous winner over today's distance, provided that it is also one of the first three horses named in the pre-post betting market.

Glenno, Do you need to consider track condition when won over the distance compared to today's track condition?

eg. would you back if winner distance on heavy & today's track was good?

And does it matter Glenno if the horse you've identified as a bet is having its first run back from a spell? Thanks.

This system does not consider track conditions when won over the distance compared to the current track condition.

It doesn't matter if the horse is having its first run back after a spell.
