You need a question mark at the end there Vortech ..... sigh

I am actually taking those two factors into account in my next system, but my third filter is a beaut and it invloves whether a horse has taken a dump in the mounting yard prior to the race !! I dont know whether to include said dump as "weight" or "volume" at this point in time. A decent dump would be 5 kgs ..... How do the weight experts on here take that into acccount ?? lol

Do you mean "involves" instead of "invloves"

How can we test this theory of weight.
What has a better profit

A. Horses with TABs 1-6 with 54.5 kg or less or
B. Horses 55kg plus with Tabs 7+

What do you think

Test A: (16.7% LOT)
Test B: (29.1% LOT)

Good lord,
I see you with the sampling shovel and gloves now... going about the business.
Anything to measure and map uncetainty? Don't forget the goggles, son.

Nothing further from me here, just getting me coat.

Barny can you add your special touch to the following?


Venue:SMAsma
Age of Horse: 3 - 12
Barrier Position: 1 - 11
TAB Number: 1 - 6
Top Weight
Days to LastStart: 5 - 14
Last Start FinishPos: 4 - 8
Last StartSP: 0.0 - 50.0

Metro, Country or combined ?

Combined Regional and Metro

Good results over the last couple of years but still concerned long-term

BTW, on the subject of a horse taking a dump in the mounting yard. The poop would have to weigh at least 5 kgs, maybe 8 kgs (it would be wet), so this would surely have a positive effect on the animal. I read a post recently where it said that Gai Waterhouse takes the body weight of her horses seriously, and that she has two sets of scales nearby all the time. OK, so the horse takes a dump. Think about an athlete about to run 800m and is "clogged up", for want of a better phrase, compared to a similar athlete who has just had a "cleansing". The cleansed athlete would surely run better ..... So a horse who's just taken a dump would surely be improved by that event.

I'm wondering where this fits with the weights afficionados on here, or is this just one of those impoderables that we simply cannot quantify ..... except it WILL have a positive effect on the horse.

How can it be TAB 1 to 6 and yet be topweight Vortech ??
