Howdy Peoples,

this i my first post into this interesting entertaining forum.

Just curious as to what systems people use to make selections in any code but more specifically Horse Racing.

I made up a system picking out rules from various other systems that were published in PPM and made up some of my own.

the following is the basic rules i have for my system

1 - 75% place strike rate
2 - 15% win strike rate
3 - DAYS LAST START
*14 days for races beyond 1600m
*21 days for races upto 1600m
4 - DISTANCE
200m either side for races upto 1600m
400m either side for races beyond 1600m
5 - Horse must race 'HANDY' settle no worse then 5th-8th and be in the first 4 at the turn.
6 - TRACK CONDITIONS - horse must have shown an ability to handle the current track conditions. If the Track conditions change dramatically then no bet - eg from good/dead to slow/heavy or vice versa
7 HORSE must have placed last start
or
beaten within 3 lengths of winner
