I have been running a test to check the performance of horses which shorten a meaningful number of ticks on BF in the last few minutes before a race. That is the only criterion.
It has produced a sharp increase in the hit rate of the fancied horses as follows
Fav wins 41%
2nd fav 24%
3rd fav 18%
4th fav 14%
Each of these groups has made a level stakes profit so far.

Nice work, interesting stats.

I wonder ifs just a bubble at the moment with the results showing profit, or if there is actually something in it long term?

How did it hold up yesterday?

It is regressing to the mean at present.
34%, 21, 11 and 11 resp.
I'm still running it in test and the stats build up quickly.
