gday All

I dunno, but I find that the Hurdles and steeples are not that difficult to find the winner.. there is always plenty of form to go on.. flat and jump. and provided they stand up they run pretty true to form IMHO.

Sportz, what % are you setting your markets to.. I also think the top rater in the last is prob the safest best all day..

Cheers

Well, I'm halfway there, surely with a lot of other punters. I have 1 and 3 in the 3rd race, and 1,2,4, 5 in the 4th. Maybe I'll take down a piece of the pick 4.

XPT, darned good selections at your site. I have a look everyday.

Regards,

Glenn

Hard to explain xpt, because the pricing is actually connected to the ratings. My spreadsheet automatically converts the ratings into prices for me. Most races are rated to around 100%, but in some races, horses receive extra rating bonuses and that increases the % up to as high as 112%. Today's races were priced to: 98%, 99%, 100%, 98%, 98%, 102%, 96% and 110%.

No dramas at all...

I was looking at your numbers and trying to get a feel for the pricing...

I have been setting mine to straight out 100% of late... cuts down on lotsa duds if you try n bet overs...

Glen,

I think u have a great chance with your pick 4 with the horses you have chosen... good luck with it and thanks for the comment about my site.. pleased it is of assistance to pple

Cheers

Well, looks like I lose. The #3 scratched then the 6 beat the 1.At Coff's Harbour, however I did manage to put the 4-7 quinella together. The #4 was 3-1 on my TAB, The #7 was 53-1!

Bad luck with Warrnambool mate. I don't know what it is, but whenever I have two horses in a race and one of them is a late scratching at the barrier, the other one never wins.

Yes, a shame. The pick 4 paid $4,500.

Thanks for the help; we gave it a great shot. 12:19 A.M. local time, and time for this old man to go to bed. Later.

Regards,

Glenn

You're kidding. Geez, it wasn't that hard to pick really. Could have had it with just 2 runners in the first 2 legs and 3 horses in the last 2. I guess it was the 3rd leg which got everyone. I probably would have had just 1 & 3 there too. Oh well, never mind.
