The last start win of the #7 was a highly unusual time, looked like they clocked the Hare.
If the #1 could lead it would be closer to evens in this, the two hard dogs to get lines thru 2 & 4

Sounds like a good idea Mo.

Only because I got sort of close am I post My Market way too late.

7 DOUBLE HIS LUCK $4

If the roughie winner failed I select the Trifecta and possibly the First 4 Blonk.

I think you are making exactly the same mistake I was making when I first started messing with Greyhounds.

When you do the ratings , the better performed animals appear at the top.
But you must learn how to differentiate between top rating Stayers and top rating Sprinters.

Like - When Stayers in horses roll up to prepare for their Spring Campaign in Sprint races , how do you stop them from being the top Raters in 1200 metre Races?

Whatever you do , you need to learn to do similar when Greyhounds are in the wrong distance race.
The example i notes yesterday was IRON BRIAN.
I also had it up top when the Computer spat out the ratings , but I adjusted it to out the gate because I was pretty sure the distance was way too short.

Yep, i hear ya.

At the moment the ratings are purely what the spreadsheet spits out, there is no analytical input. I consider them like base ratings only, I've got a ******** of a way to go before I start to analyse dogs & races.

I admit I do have a bit of a feel for horses, know when the top rated on numbers is a good lay, etc. Still I have enjoyed the last week, something completely different. I didn't even study the Sat races. Just backed by system bets & traded a no risk $300.
