Gday All,

I think I may stay out of this one... The idea of having nominated races to pick a lay in is rather farcical... The idea of laying is to pick a loser that all others think can win... thats where ya score.. having a race nominated really is not suitable to that kind of thing.. On this thread somewhere, a contributor has said to pick the best 2 races at Sydney and Melbourne ( Ithink).. What criteria do you use to pick the best race... To my way of thinking the "best" race is one where the winner is not obvious... where the class is solid.. so if the winner is not obvious, that to my mind makes it a very poor and probaly a foolish option to lay a horse in that race.. far too risky.. I feel the best lay propositons are things running around at 2/1 ON to Evens, that really should be 2 or 3 to 1. You need to be pretty good at pricing horses to abe able to confidently( In Advance) identify the races where there is a shortie running around that is going to be overbet, and frankly you have no clue as to whether the horse is unders and worth laying until you have the market in front of you.. to see what people are prepared to take..

But it's your idea fellas... good luck with it..
