Short odds favourites have taken a real kicking today. 2/5 won. Terrible pricing. Bookies field day. Will have to start doing these again soon. Love taking those on. Especially after Stradivarius earlier. That was immensely satisfying. Odds on because he won at a much shorted distance after a fair time out. Idiots

Again @John-Folan appreciate the consistent effort with this thread I also am looking forward to seeing what the BTC software has and to getting familiar with it. I reckon this thread will take off then once the software is up and running.

Agree with all of that matey

Sussed it. Non runners changed the rankings. That’s no good as far as I am concerned so will leave well alone.

Bit concerning with the Master Ranks that it came up with a winner in this mornings results from yesterday that was not in the declarations yesterday morning. I am binning those as it can't be reliable. I've had a moan at Ian as well so will tell you what he says. Annoying really but BTC software is imminent so I will wait for that for any future systems.

Today's Trobs. 3.5-9 as usual.

The Master back system has got off to an underwhelming start, but we go again. Three trobs today. 3.5-9 odds range on everything as usual

Scratch on the trobs and about the same on the backs

First one trobbed for two points profit. Doubt the next one will match so two points from one trade.

@john-folan said in The BTC Horse Racing Thread:

Master Rank 1 backs. Lost 3 points yesterday but was unlucky with the short head loss at 6. These are todays. Again 3.5-9 odds range

Results on these so far

Today's list subject to 3.5-9 odds

Hi John
I just thought I'd say thanks for all the great stuff you're posting on here (with very few responses). I look out for your posts as there's always something interesting and your thoughts about a suite of different systems really make sense to me. I'll keep following and will try and contribute as best I can.
Out of interest, have you run your latest systems through the Adrian Massey database as a check against the Inform stats? I guess there will be differences in some of the ranges used in the parameters...
Cheers
Kevin

Good thought that I’ll have a play. Problem is that a lot of the ratings are Informs own. Be interesting running them against btc’s when it’s in beta. I’ll have a go at Massey’s though. Can’t hurt.

In other news. I have put together a pretty sensible backing system. It had a bad year last year as per Covid, but what wasn't affected? Pretty logical filters along with my favoured 3.5-9 odds range which is where the majority of value in horse racing is. Should net an average of 8-10 points a month being conservative.

Caspian Prince lost by a short head. These are going to be fun
