That theory of topweight in a Welter is another myth to be busted.

517 Topweights in Welters

Return $380.60

Loss 136.40 units or 26.38% LOT

There were only two in my database running over exactly 2400m and both lost.

The one's that started at greater than $6.00 on the tote were 278 for a return of $162.20 and loss of 115.80 or 41.65% LOT

NB: Flying Welters not included

MYTH BUSTED

I've long held the suspicion that bookmakers started these myths and sent them around the rings shouting "look there's another one that just won" to perpetuate it.

So far I've busted:

Topweight in a Welter
Horses For Courses
Avoid horses second up
Avoid wet tracks (did you know Fast is the very worst going to make a profit?)
The impact of weight
The impact of time
Track Record breakers
Odds On Look On

To name just a few.

Take all these myths and lay 'em like there's no tomorrow and win big.

Chrome, I have no doubt that your figures are correct, as such a simple plan taking in every race ,every day of the week borders on,....... no is impossible. The only thing that seems to sort em out better is "handicaps only" Metro only, and using 6-1 PRE-POST quote. (I use WA Tab-Form) but I guess still a loser if you backed em all, may it should be kept as one of those things "when in doubt" as Breadman suggests, or "when" at the races.

Just as a matter of interest this produced 14 bets yesterday (5 states) for 3 wins, Sharp Aunty $6.80, Jackass $6, and Impatient Star $8, not counting the hurdle winner and a bit close with Imprisoned

just a quick thank you for refferring to my comment of WHEN in doubt not every welter. O r for that matter any race. The way I thought the saying went was when you had 3 or 4 horses marked out to win that race and you couldnt make up your mind you then back the top weight. I still remember ian craig saying that on 3 way turf talk. oh my god am i getting old or what!!!
Never been a program that could match that on radio. Oh no what have i done now? maybe a new thread on best radio programs..... hehehe
