can someone please run a test to see the strike rate of first uppers for ages of 3.4.5.6.7 indivitually for sat metro only.
at the the moment i am backing horses resuming only if they are aged 3.4.5 years.
i am not sure by leaving 6.7 years old out is a wise move.
on the weekend at hawkesbury testimonial won and paid $17+ but was 6 years old so i didnt have bet just wondering if there is a massive drop in strike rate as the horse gets older. the odds are usually pretty good for first uppers.

Hawkesbury isn't a metro track George.

Suspect you will be looking at huge LOT, but gove me a little while to come back to you....

3,4,5 yo's LOT improves where First Up Win % is >80%

i know Hawkesbury is not metro track but because it was a stand alone meeting last week saturday and most of the horses competing are metro sat class that why i treated as a metro meeting.

thats stix i will stick to 3.4.5 years old as the strike rate drops off as they get older . at lot of horses resuming dont make the selection rules which leaves with about 10 horses to bet on .i just wanted a general idea what the strike rate would have been. thanks again

If you can make it work George, you would be THE MAN!
