Been a while.

My latest research involves the trainer/jockey combination along with some filters in maiden races in New Zealand.

Firstly, I eliminate all horses beyond 5 years old. The trainer must qualify on the track raced upon and the jockey/trainer combination must also rate. I rate the trainer and jockey on starts to wins/placings and also opportunity. They must attain a minimum score.

The horse must have had an average lengths from the winner of 3.2 lengths or less over it's last two runs. I include a trials win but not a trials placing. For example, a trial win after a placing of 2nd to 4th at it's last race start.

The horse must have run 2nd to 4th at it's last start and a first starter who won a trial also qualifies. A trials winner who placed 5th or worse at its pre-trial race is disqualified.

All runners are backed to win for $1.00 at NZ TAB.

To 25 Jan. 2016:
24 runners
13 winners
7 places
4 unplaced

Outlay $24.00
return $49.80
