While we are waiting for Adam and Co to finish working their magic on the horse software I thought I would give you an idea of what it can come up with.

This is a very simple lay system. It compares the favourite rank of the horse at breakfast time in non handicap races where it is the current favourite. It then looks at the mid morning price ranks and checksif it has drifted enough to no longer be the favourite(I:E another horse is more fancied). If it has and is no longer ranked favourite a lay will be placed 10 seconds before the off(no matter what happens to it's price after that).

These are the results. I haven't done anymore filtering yet but I will do once a few tweaks have been implemented to the strategy builder. Took me 10 minutes this did.

Grangeclare View 17:00 Newcastle 6.2 into 6 -1 pt
Mrs Bagerman 18:30 Newcastle 9 into 7.4 - 1pt
Digital 14:25 Southwell 10.5 into 3.45 +2pt
Realm Keeper 14:15 Wetherby 6 into 4.5 -1 pt
Windsor Diamond 13:00 Gowran Park 33 into 22 -1pt
Coko Beach 15:05 Gowran Park 22 into 5 +2 pts

Break even. Will do more of these going forward but not today

Right I am using the software racecards to pick these out for some back to lay action. I'll probably Trob them as I am a greedy git but you can play it by ear so 25% or a dob or whatever floats your boat. I will not be going mad staking wise as I cannot backtest this properly at the moment, but all the information available shows they tend to run well.

Not a disaster going for the trobs. I’ll post scores in the morning

My usual DTW(Dob/Trob/Win). I will only be getting involved if between 3.5-9 odds range.

[John Folan]

Nothing today from me.

One of my old school DTW's today

Had 0.5pt on it and greened up at just over +0.65 profit in play

I had a dob from it but it just missed the trob. They are running well enough at the moment

18:00 Wolverhampton My Dubawi should be good for a dob/trob/win based on its last 5 races

Great stuff - had 0.5 pt at 4.40.

Let it run as it looked a winner

Nice. I stuck a point on each D/T/W, my version of a split stake I guess.. Quite confident in what I may have found .

Only AW racing today so nothing from me on the DTW front

[John Folan]

Nothing today

Market Rasen called off. Ground soggy. Still horse welfare is a better excuse for postponement than Arsenals letter from their mum to get out of PE last weekend.

[John Folan]

Todays. 3.5-9 odds range as usual. It's currently there so hopefully it stays

@cyril-reaney we don't give dates on software releases due to the amount of things that can go wrong (a bit like video game development) all I can tell you is @Adam says it is very close now

What is realistic status of horse racing stats ?
