i back the top 3 selections

not bad shaun,hard to select only 4 races[using wizard points/consensus panels] and do well if backing top 3 for a profit,i bet the same way myself [using my own ratings] but normally have a couple more races until profit percentage is reached..do you only use the wizard points??

Yes...thats all i use....i did do my own rateings at one time but i found that i could get better results useing some one elses.....i limit my races by only looking at welters and higher and those were the 4 races that qualifyed in all 5 states...those prices are not uncommon thats the second $60 winner i have had in about a month.

Hi Shuan,

Well done on Baycrest! Just wondering how you stake your three selection. The same amount on each, or do you Dutch them?

Cheers.

Yes, well done, Shaun. As a bit of a novice at all this can you define "Welter" for me? Thanks.

As for how i stake them i just put the same amount on each selection....that way when the big ones come in you are not disadvantaged by the dutch system...as long as it pays $3 or more you are in profit.....as for the class i don't have a class list in front of me but for city races it starts with restricted events (1 metropolitan win or 2 metro wins or maybe restricted to fillies or 2yo or 3yo)then im think it is class 6 races then comes welters then open races then quality then you have your group races i will only put my money on top grade races like welters,opens,quality,group races.....i never bet on 3yo races unless they are quality or up same with 2yo i never bet on fillies/mares only races.....by doing this i limit the amount of money i have at risk.....i think on average there are about 50 to 80 races on a given saturday....no one i don't care how good you are can make a profit trying to take them all on.....i have between 5 and 15 bets on saturday and about 1 to 5 on wednesday.....plenty of action....i use a bank percentage bet for example i bet 5% for 1 to 5 bets 10% for 6 to 10 bets and 15% for 11 and above bets.......i just devide this amout by the total number of selections for the day....on wednesday i had 12 selections for 3 wins for about a 500% profit.

The class system has become a "Dogs Breakfast". Now we have "Transitional" In trasit to where, that's what I'd like to know!

speaking of classing of races.
how could the wyong cup prelude today possibly be a listed race at $30k total prizemoney.
nsw racing is getting like nz where even some of the hurdles are listed races.
its time they lifted their game.

ps. good luck with the longshots.
nice to see them posted.

yeah what the hell are trans races.
