@john-folan Do you have data to be able to make a quick backtest?

Hah no chance.

Bummer - but I thought as much, since it involves odds above 9.5 and you don't have data on these, I'd assume.

Yeah and dob rate lower than 70 so I’d just get a false picture. Still it gives me something to do until the boys let me play with the horse software.

Can see a couple of filters already. Odds and get rid of the AW. Will continue collecting data. I’m also doing run style 3. So slower stuff that likes to break from the back. That looks interesting too as some bigger odds doing well.

Dobbing might be a good option with these too as the rate is looking impressive.

In other news and I'm not sure what I'm doing with these yet, but looking at a running style of 2(so not a front runner or a from the back type). I got these results yesterday. There us enough here to make me persevere. No other filters apart from a minimum 3.5 odds filter.

What should we be looking at? The highlighted column?

The trob column. It’s a bit weird. I did the 3’s as well and combined got a 9 point profit from trobbing. It’s a bit high turnover and will need filters but interesting start. Ignores dob rate completely

Got ya - hadn't noticed that the sheet showed March 18 results only.

Last day of the festival:

1:20: tritonic to place 1pt

Nothing else springs out. Irish are utterly dominant so the markets have fully supported irish racers.

The irish continue to dominate, rachael blackmore raking up the prize money

1:20 = -1pt

Cheltenham total : -0.12 points

@john-folan Yea I managed to back him at a good price and laid off close to race for a few ticks. Couldn't believe when he fell but it's why I never bet on races generally. Chelts always a fun week though and had £50 in FBs on Betfair.

That’s all I did earlier was freebets. Did ok yesterday as had Tiger roll at 8’s. See what tomorrow brings.
