Geez, that was quick!

System,

In the second race that looks like 6 picks at 104%...

F

Well, they're obviously equal 5th picks. It would be better if people could provide only 5 picks, but if you do have equal 5th rated horses, please try to at least put them in some order of preference. As for the odds, that's not absolutely crucial, but it would be much better if people could use a 100% market to price their horses. Some people's ratings are listed in kgs, some in lengths, some in points etc etc, so giving each horse a price is a good way for us to make a good comparison between methods.

Gday All,

just to get this clear... do I rate the 5 picks as the only horses in the field ie 100% of the market or do I do as I normally do rate the whole field as 100%. Then post the top 5?

xptdriver,

rate the whole field to 100% and then list your top five.

Yeah, as Ron said, rate the WHOLE FIELD to 100%, but only post the top 5.

Sorry I didn't make that clearer in my initial post.

LOL we haven't even run a race yet and there's queries everywhere!!!

Yep.

Well, I've been looking after the tipping comp for the last 4 or 5 months, so I know all about that.
