Hi John,

Will the filters be available to members??

[John Folan]

Nothing hit all the filters today. Weather is turning over the next couple of weeks so these should pick up.

[John Folan]

Still crap weather. Probably won't improve till the latter part of February. @Martin-Futter How is the Horse Software coming? I know you said you were hoping to get an update yesterday.

[John Folan]

Still waiting for a change in the weather. Annoying, but that's the way it is. Plowing into AW stats still to see if I can come up with something consistent.

No selections. Following on from the thoughts on draw bias I analysed something I am testing on the AW. I hadn’t kept draw stats but distance played a massive role. Looking into it further the courses with decent course bias performed better over some distances than others. The results on Timeform and the draw bias was the obvious factor over those distances. Bit of a slog but I am onto something. It literally will be horses for courses at this rate.

A selection! 3.5-9 odds range and check the going just before the off and avoid if heavy

Wolverhampton doesn't seem to have a low Draw bias, so not an angle to find there from that perspective.

No it’s deffo course shape that affects the draw. I’ve been looking today. Lingfield has no course bias either.

I’ll compile a list of courses and distances that have bias and see what we have to work with.

If we narrow the selections to Top 3 in the BSP ranks or only accept selections with odds at 9 or lower at BSP, we lose a large portion of the profits (drops to around 25-30 points) while the strike rate increases to just below 40%.
