Thanks guys. My problem is not the acclimatization but the fact that they said it was going to be laid today. Therefore I am home and everything was moved out in readiness for it. They could have easily delivered it before today and have it ready for laying. It appears there was a "breakdown in communication" between the layer and the store - or so they say.

Speaking of laying yes I think you are right guys. The "system" isn't faring too well today so far - 3 wins and 3 losses. The 3 winners have been favourites however, having said that, there have been a number of selections that have been faves and have fallen over.

I'll have to have a bit more of a look into it.

Hi T.O.

It might pay to leave out those coming down in class?

Hi TS. I'll have to look at that as well ops: but I am trying to keep it as simples as possible.

I've had a look at price by itself and, since I have been testing it, the price range under $3 is a slight loser (this goes back to before I listed the selections here). This could also form part of the going down in class and therefore becoming relatively short priced faves.

I will therefore now make the price range between $3 and $10. This obviously rules out the short priced faves which are crucifying the method today. I know - knee jerk reaction but there you go.

Hopefully the method can pull itself out of the mire and claw its way back to profitability today. Here's hoping anyway.

Interesting side note - last Wednesday was a losing day. Mmmm

There is more than one way to lay a horse, as the apprentice jockey said.

Lay many horses?

I'm ending my attempt at this as it obviously is not up to scratch. It seems my Dart degree may need the D removed and replaced with an F!

Onto the next system to try and replace my trading money.
