Just for interests sake, a similar molded system but for third up horses.


* Must be third up from spell
* Must have finished fifth at best two starts ago
* Must have finished fourth at best last start
* Must have had at least 7 career starts
* Must be in the top 5 for average prizemoney per race.
* Field size must be at least 8 horses prior to scratchings.

This system will probably throw up a lot more selections leading to a lot more donkeys, but i think with some tinkering this system could have moderate success. Also as bhagwan said before I guess if you had time to watch the race you could Blackbook some horses for a 4th up start if they have no luck or run on strongly.
Maybe you could possibly say that any horse who has been unplaced from 3 or more 3rd up runs is ruled out???
Todays 3rd up system selections:

Townsville
Race 2 #3 and #8
Race 3 #1
Race 4 #4
Race 7 #7
Coffs Harbour
Race 4 #1
Wodonga
Race 7 #1
