7 horse field take the exacta ....fave 2 win field for second then field to win fave second cost =12.oo...... possibilities there i think??

Don't mind that one. How about a twist:

-Take exacta FIELD/FAVOURITE
-Lay the fav to place as a saver

You only lose if the fav wins, which would pay SWEET F.A anyway, and you know those weird results in small fields.....Maybe Wesmip1 might have some stats on Favs in fields of 7 or similar.

Strike rates as follows:

3 Horses : 57%
4 Horses : 55%
5 Horses : 42%
6 Horses : 41%
7 Horses : 36%
8 Horses : 35%
9 Horses : 35%

It falls away dramatically after that.

Good Luck.

wesmip1, would I be right in thinking that another graph showing SP , side by side would be the exact opposite to that? i.e. greater the S/R the lower the SP?

partypooper,

You are correct. Greater the Strike rate the lower the odds.

Good Luck.
