Hi Barny,

I've got out the old Sportsman's and Herald Sun formguides and I'm investigating your concept.

I have a few questions if that's okay.

1. When you consider the "qualifying" race are these always Saturday meetings or could they be Public Holiday, midweek or night meetings as well?

2. If you only look at horse's that have had say 5-20 starts, what do you do if the qualifying run is their 18th start and as you are going to follow then for their next 5 starts, this will take them passed their 20th run. What do you do?

3. If the horse wins at say its 2nd start after the qualifying run do you continue to follow it for the next 3 runs (total of 5) or is it eliminated unless this winning run is also a qualifying run?

Thanks for your very interesting thread.
