I know, just tinkering ,i have other ones but their a bit more involved. what do you think about rating horses, giving them points for t, d conditions , barriers ,s/r and prize money , out of 100

How would you go if you eliminated 1st uppers and restricted the other bets to those who,s last start starting price was 10/1 or lower and perhaps to TAB no,s 1 - 5.

Goldmember,



I gather that if the runner is first up from a spell, then its last two placings prior to the spell are irrelevent.

Is that correct?

Yes, that's right last 2 starts only apply to recent racing

very interesting darkydog, it's the opposite of that . the first uppers fared better for some reason?
11 selections : 4 wins - $34.90
7 placings- $18.00

last 2 starts
19 selections : 5 wins - $29.20
9 placings- $18.70

sorry, i missed counted 1 winner overall

30 selections - 9 winners

cheers

Horses sp last start 10/1 & under

18 selections - 5 wins =$29.20
only 8 places overall = $17.00

tab no's 1-5,
17 selctions ,same "as above"

Goldmember,

I pulled out The Sportsman on 6/2/04 to see if I could get your exact selections for Sat. 7th of Feb. .
I got most of the winners bar one. Sydney R4h1. I dont know how you picked that. It's win s/r is or was only 13.6%. Therefore no bet?
I also had picks that you didnt have like Syd.R5h4,h9.
Mel. R5h4, Adel.R2h3,h9. and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

I seems like a good system to follow for the next 6-8 months to see how it goes.
I'm not sure if I understand the won T/D section in the sportsman.
I assume your using The Sportsman. The section This Track(underneath a runners name) may have 1 in it and so to with This Dist. ,but where it says This T/D might have a 0 for the same horse. I'm just a tad confused with that aspect of the paper as I havent really used that info. before.

If you could help me out that would be great.

Hi emu, your'e not doing it wrong syd r4 no.1 isn,t,i was using the other rules when i started and then added 20% later,my fault, forgot to delete him, i was doing them manually through a newspaper late at night, [must have nodded off] must have missed a couple. As for SR5,3 left out one rule must have 8 starters after scratchings [sorry]
I don't use the sportsman, but it's the same as any formguide won at track[t] won at distance[d] doesn't mean at this track and distance

cheers
