The other day an unhappy chappy on this board remarked that nowadays it was necessary to bet two horses in a race in order to achieve satisfactory results.
This, of course, leads to the heinous proposition of "dutching".

So I had a 'first-cut' look.

Using the Top 4 in the TAB queue (which generate +/- 72% of winners). NO other criteria except that ALL races have 10 - 12 starters (av. size of a race in Oz is +/- 10.9).

Have a look at the small attached results file and make your own decision.
YES, the $$$ are TAB's so they're at the bottom end of the scale, but that's where you need to start before you head into the whirligig world of Best-Fluc and so on. It'll need a considerable shift to overcome the size of the TAB commission.

However, the more I tinker with this nebulous world the more I reckon that Race Selection is the key to success.
