Over the past two years (Saturdays only) there were 580 races, with a winning S/R of 26% and a POT of 5.5%

If you have a minimum distance of 1200m, the POT improves to 13%

If you have a minimum price of $3, the POT improves to 21%

If you have "metro last run" as well, the POT improves to 28% (343 races)

Might be on to something there Panther. As long as you are happy with 3 to 4 bets per week.

And if the strike-rate is dropped to 20%, along with the changes above already recommended, then the POT improves to 32% (408 selections for 104 winners).

I have the data base that MODERATOR 3 Mentions and it is very ,very good.

I am extremely pleased with it.

A little more tweaking and the strike-rate rises to over 40%, but I'll keep tweaking to see if the method can be further improved.

keep that pot going up la mer and you will gang tackled before you no it...

Actually, I meant to say that the POT rise to over 40%, the strike-rate also rises but not as high as I stated, the correct strike-rate is 28.4%.

After tweaking all the criteria one way & the other & introducing one addiitional, I've come up with the following as probably be the closest to the optuim:

Race Distance: 1200m- 3200m
Day of Week: Saturday
Venue: All Metro venues
Horse Win %: 22%-100%
Career Starts: 4-18
TAB Number: 1- 7
Weight to Carry: 54.5kgs-57.0kgs
Last Start Finish Position: 1st-3rd
Won at Distance
Won at Course
Metro run @ Last Start
Max Last Start Beaten Margin: Less than 6 lengths
SP Price: $ 2.0-$21.0

It is worth noting that had the SP price been open, that is no upper limit of $21, the profit as indicated below would have been a lot higher, as the two largest priced winners started @ $46 & $33, which represteted approx 45% of the overall profit. The largest priced winners included in the results is $18.

WIN PLACE
Races Bet: 322 321
Races Won:105 195
S.R./Race: 32.6% 60.7%
Outlay ($): $355.00 $354.00
Return: $467.10 $363.70
$ Profit:$112.10 $9.70
% POT: 31.6% 2.7%

If anyone is interested, I can supply a slightly different criteria with a higher strike-rate, but with reduced profit & turnover.
