Chrome,
It's not just swear words the program blocks, but some other racing sites too. Try printing www.**********.com. Yep, it's still doing it. The site was www. ************p.e.r.t.f.o.r.m.com.au Must be competition in something. I would be interested to know all the sites it blocks just out of curiosity.

That reminds me of a horse called Landowner from about 10 years ago,i was working this sytem i had developed and had a staking plan that called for increased bets,i was only new to the game and was a little nervous putting the required $20 straight out on a horse that was $10 pre post,anyhow i placed the bet and was amazed to see the horse win at odds of $35. The system ended up on the scrap heap after i lost my bank a few months later but with the $700 adrenalin rush still fresh in my memory i went to work trying to find a profitable angle. Thank you Landowner.

I can't agree with your last paragraph here Chrome. If popularity of jockey and trainer (assuming this corresponds in some quantifiable way to frequency of winning of jockey and trainer) is such an important factor I'm sure any rater worth his salt could allow for it easily and adjust his ratings accordingly. Maybe the prepost guys are looking for better value or have less information at the time of rating perhaps. KV

Hi KennyVictor,
It is quantifiable in that after watching prepost prices and recording them for quite a while, 90% of Hawkes, Waterhouse, Freedman, Hayes, Beadman, etc etc horses come in to start shorter than the prepost. 10% of others come in. These horses are usually under 10/1 though. This is why invariably you can't make a profit, even though they have such a good strike rate. In a perfect world, one should be able to make a killing. You might notice that some of the above are showing a profit at level stakes, but this usually comes from one outsider getting up. I read a very interesting post on a UK forum last night, of a system where a guy had found each trainers niche and backed the runners only in those races. He is doing very very well. I'm not suggesting it would work here, but it's definitely worth thought. Some trainers do very well with their horses first up, some do well with 2yo's, or Group races etc etc. He had gone back over 5 years to see each trainers training habits. I wouldn't use it though, because each crop in the stable is new or getting older and results can vary too much. I know a few leading trainers who have had a run of 2 years where they just could not get decent horses.

Top Rank,
That was the name maybe I'm wrong about what it did after, I have just sent off a search to see if I can get it's full career form, see what comes back and let you know, or maybe you have it and could post it here. Cheers

Top Rank,
Here's another you can check out if you like, again mid 80's. Melbourne race , cant remember which track but again was at Randwick and on a weds. Judges Rule 15/1 on interstate fluctuations, I bet $960 but the best I could get was 12/1 and I think from memory was with Harry Barret, can't be sure but maybe you can get him to check his betting sheets. Was a distance race and my horse went 10 lengths ahead and I nearly threw my betting slip away then, won by about 4 lengths ( but not real sure might have been 3 lengths ) again check that out. All the best

Top Rank,
Sorry about this but you have really got the old memories going ( I admit I have now had a few drinks ). Again mid 80's a big Brisbane (I think) race ( you can see I'm an expert when I can remember all the names of the races and where they were run). Myocard ( I think that was it's name but was a hotpot) left it out of a tri was a photo for 3rd, and the longest photo I have been through and it ran 4th. Was quite a rewarding Tri. I'm sure you can check that one out too. I am pretty sure of the nags name, actually I think it won the slipper. Cheers.
