Just done the Cranbourne at 10am and 3 got matched. I am looking at the cards with 8 runners or more min of 1300mtrs race upto just over a mile, which has a competive look about it no clear favourite and ideally 5 under 10.0 odds. Next race that looks a possibility just over a mile( 2060mtrs) is the 10.30am at Cranbourne

@james-everard Nice one James... Got any more lined up???

[james everard]

Morning all , just tested my first lay all the horses on the 8.52am at Redcliffe and had a winner .2 went under 1.8 .

@keith-dow would you suggest around the 1400mtr races (around 6 furlongs) to the mile distance? Just browsing through the markets

I like the 1400 - 1700 distance but it's not an exact science.

@alan-steward 6 fs is 1207 meters so I'm just having any above that

Are there any posts set up on how to "Lay The Field" (sounds bit of a Debbie Does Dallas sequel lol)

i.e. Qualifying races etc. - I get we lay all horses @ 1.8 but is there any pre Lay criteria which needs to be met... Cheers

I think handicaps and 6 plus horses. Looks like there might be a distance filter? With the original HRT going up the spout I’ve lost about a month of the forum.

@martin-futter gotcha, theres a few meetings tomorrow morning in Aus from just after 8am... Need to work out how many metres in a furlong lol

[Martin]

@alan-steward I’ll update the video with some thoughts on strategy. It is a little too vague isn’t it! Ideally I want 7 furlongs to 1 mile, 4-5 trading 11.0 or below, 10 runners plus.

@alan-steward If the winner only gets matched then you lose your liability, 2 matches and it's a small profit. We had one race last night at Will Rogers Downs that hit 4 matches.

[A Former User]

Can see it working... Obviously you'll need to get 2 matched or just 1 will win the race and we lose... Winners always drop below 1.8... Or do you trade out of this strat before the race ends?

[A Former User]

@alan-steward Also, watch the AUS markets as some tracks have a 6% turnover charge so it's extra commission.

@alan-steward I was using the market to practice scalping and started finding that I was having more joy laying the field (like Debbie!!!). Been trying to drill it down but as I said, finding any historical info or form data has been a nightmare.
