i remember some discussion in past "punt to win" articles about john hawkes' horses racing first up.....2 recent winners spring to mind sports $22 in the auries star and adolesence $67 last saturday ....i'm sure there've been plenty of losers in between, but at those prices you could go a long way before losing....has anybody done an analysis of hawkes horses first up???

cheers,

noel

Chrome Prince, what will be interesting is Hawkes horses that are first up at $10.00+ using IAS DiviPlus.
