G'day grasscutter,
the 56.78 percent figure is just a bit of a fun figure. I use it because it has those digits, 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 :grin:
But it actually works well in most systems and plans because it eliminates many also rans and keeps the better performers. It requires a BETTER placegetting percentage than 5 out of 9 (55.5 percent) or 6 out of 11 (54.5 percent) or 8 out of 15 (53.3 percent) for example. You can see that it looks for horses often in the money. Your suggestion of 60 percent would probably work just as well. I'm just hooked on numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8 !! :lol:
Thanks for the feedback grasscutter. The systems are meant to be fun and can always be played around with.
