For the last 2 weeks I have been entering results into my database, I have been noticing that of late there has been quite a few TAB NUMBER 1 horses winning at very big odds, considering that the top weight is meant to be the better horse, thus the highest weight, it's suprising to see the prices that are showing up, has anyone had a system to look at selecting the number one horse before

UB's system tester since August last year:

There were 100159 horse form lines in the database at this point in time. We update when we get time.

There were 8679 selections for the System
There were 8679 races for the System
There were 1370 Winners for the System for a strike rate of 15.79%
There were $7828.91 returned for WIN (after 5% commission) which means a Profit or loss of $-850.09 or a percentage profit/loss of -9.79%

Test Another System

The Rules used were : horseNumber = 1

I'm not sure if it has been updated in the last 2 weeks but I don't think the recent winners would make too much of a difference.

It is usually the most overbet horse in the race but of course this is a general statement. There are times when they are underbet as you have seen.

I'll let you run other numbers but above I have chosen saddle clothes 2,3 and 8. As you can see all of these numbers do better then saddle cloth 1.

There was an good system I had on my laptop which backed the TAB 1 from Barrier one at certain track/distances

The Barrier one had a bias advantage particularly over the 1000m.

If interested I can send through the track/distances.

Thanks Vortech but not at the moment, like i said i have another selection process i'm using at the moment, which i'd like to focus on, as it's running on a good POT and Strike rate. I may take you up on the offer at a later date when i have some time to spare.

Pete

Keep an eye on motspur at br2 h1 from barrier. Huge advantage at doomben @ 1200m.

Here,s one from the Author Albert Kent.
