Its funny how many punters use the term systems or rules when developing a selection process in horse racing and not in other sports.

Imagine the punter in the AFL or NRL going through and rating each player based on past performance at that ground against that club based on the ground conditions and the day of the week.

I think in theory a system is good to fed out the non-qualifers and then you can use your head to back a winner or multple of winners.

I have more success today with ratings not just backing on the nose but a mixture of betting types.

On the weekend I was more than happy to watch the cash come for Green Birdie. Even tho Ready to Rip prior win the form didn't hold up you can tell from a system based selection that it was going to improve.

For the London Games I backed every event were there were more than 20 qualifers and the outright win was between $1.10 and $1.40. Ended up with 13 qualifers.

Sorry I'm off the topic a little.
