REVIEW OF LAST
NEWSLETTER
---------------------------
The last newsletter I sent was actually the first. And what
a result!
As well as providing a lucrative system angle, we also
looked at why it pays to be wary of short-priced high class horses having their
seasonal debut.
A classic case in point was Champion Hurdle runner up,
Harchibald, who had his first run of the season on Sunday at
Sure enough, 'Harchie' was going best of all with a quarter
mile to run, but found absolutely nothing when asked to make his effort. He
finished fourth of five, and the aroma of burnt fingers could be sniffed across
the Emerald Isle. There'll be a good few more high profile, long odds-on
defeats before October is through. You have been warned...!
Also, in the last newsletter, I started what is to be a
regular feature in the letter: Tomorrow's Qualifiers. This is where I give you
an insight into the wonderful world of Trainer Track Stats.
And how!
On a never-to-be-repeated day, out of nine selections, eight
were winners, including 10/1 and 12/1 horses. The only horse not to win was
placed 3rd at 12/1, in the same race that we had the 4/1 winner!!
You'll find tomorrow's qualifiers at the bottom of this
letter.

SYSTEM ANGLE: GOING
CHANGE WINNERS
---------------------------------------------------------
Its the time of year when Autumn starts to blow into Winter,
and the wind and rain changes the going conditions almost daily. In short, its
a tough time to be a punter. So, I sought to answer the question, "How can
we use this inclement weather to our advantage?". One of the things that
struck me was, "What if a horse had previously won on today's going, but
was beaten last time out on markedly different ground?"
Well, I put this to the test with my trusty Racing Systems
Builder software (the same hugely impressive database I trawl to locate the
TrainerTrackStats nuggets). I used my usual 14/1 or less condition, and also
restricted it to novice races. This is what I learnt if today's going was two
or more types quicker or slower than last time out:

A JOKE.......
----------------------
Nothing to do with horse racing or winner finding but very
funny nonetheless!
A man walks into a dentists' surgery, and says, "You've
got to help me, I think I'm a moth".
The dentist replies, "You don't need a dentist, you
need a psychiatrist".
The man says, "I know".
The dentist, somewhat bemused, says, "So what are you
doing here?!"
Grinning, the man replies, "The light was on!"
