The Equaliser

Well done. Just a quick question. How do you whittle down the qualifiers to a selection(s). Is it just based upon the top 1/2 out of all the races or is it something else? For example when you did the RPR/RTF trial you put up selections for all the races for the night and then took stock of an overall profit/loss. Whereas now you seem to have whittled them down. Just curious that's all

Yes, a point is £1. If you disapprove of this strat, just wait until you see the one based upon trainer and/or jockey bookings. As you know I'm a masochist by heart 🙂

Best of luck with this. Just wondering what your computer ratings would flag up in these races? Am I right to assume that you are retaining these just for the big wide open races and do the computer ratings work best with handicap sprints?

Good point. Horse beaten 3.5 lengths. Had Venetia put on a 7lbs claimer she may have won? Let's hope she takes note of your advice Calva, I will 🙂

Double today 2.35 Nc French Paradox 5/2 3.35 Lin Kenny George 10/3 (1 pt win at 5.2) 2 pts win double = poss return of 30.33 Total stakes so far = 3 points ----------------------------------------------------------- Done in by a springer in the market 4.10 Lin William Philo 1 pt win at 4.1 (It looks to be a worthy favourite to take this race) Total = 4 pts so far ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very strange running by William Philo; he seemed to only wake up at the end of the race to finish 3rd by a head and a neck One last go for the end of the month. 5.30 Sou Regal Empire with Tom Marquand aboard 2 pts win at 6.2 for 10.19 profit Total stakes = 6 points today ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel a little unlucky not to have been in profit this month with my "back bets". MTD & YTD = -23.70. I am more than hopeful that I will improve my position next month. The Lay bets finished with an MTD of -6.40 = YTD. I did make a few mistakes at first and can only see improvements in the coming months.
