3.5-9 as usual
Normal Trobs
Hcaps
I am continuing with the back test. I'm upto august but its a slog now as I stopped recording bsp and irl at this point. I will persevere and get back to you as soon as I am at the end of august, then each month after that. It is time consuming though so bare with me.

State of play for the Handicaps at the end of June 2020.
Jumps. 3.5-9 odds range 80% Dob Rate
Flat 3.5-9 odds range 70% Dob Rate
So Trobbing we are looking at 80 points from 254 races. Dobs aren't worth bothering with and if you didn't mind the variance you could back the win on the Flat only as well giving you another 80 points(Rounded up) from 143 trades so 160 points from 397 trades.
I'll keep backtesting to the end of December when I stopped (stupidly) recording all race data.
This should keep us in money until the lovely new software is ready for beta testing next month.
My filtered trobs I am also going to stick with as they are not spectacular but plod along in the background. I might have over filtered them but they are pretty reliable with not a huge amount of variance which can be reduced even more by making them handicap races only.

I'm nearly at the end of June last year for the backtest. I'll do a results to date when I get there.

Lets see if these have a good day. 3.5-9 on both. Heavy to be avoided on the filtered trobs but not the handicaps

Crap all round today. Always the way when you find something new.
We go again tomorrow

As an update. I have split these out as the flat uses a 70% dob rate and the jumps 80%There was no flat after 3rd November so these will remain static until June 2020.
Jumps

Todays Filtered Trobs. I will not personally be doing the fillies so queue two wins. 3.5-9 odds range
Today's Handicaps. I will split these out into Hurdles and Flats on two sheets but I have just done this on the Backtest and my brain is fried. 3.5-9 odds range.
-
Looks like scratch on the filtered trobs and plus 3 on the handicaps yesterday. Couple of wins as well which bumped the profit a bit

John do you have a minimum race criteria for 70%/80% Dobs?
On the normal trobs it’s 5 races with an 11% win rate
Doesn’t seem to make any difference on the Handicap Trobs I am backtesting though which surprised me.

On the handicaps back test it is becoming clear that a dob rate filter of 70% is not as good as 80% on the jumps. On the flat it is mustard. So I may have to separate as two different strategies. I’ve opened a proper can of worms here but then going forward we will have two solid strategies to work with. There will be a lot less selections on the jumps but that is the case anyway. The flat just looks like it’s going to be a cash register.

Both of todays. 3.5-9 odds range as usual for both

1 point lost on the normal 2 on the handicaps. Annoying as the last race just missed. Small margins and all that

Thank you John, really appreciated

Someone asked for a copy of my spreadsheet. Please ignore the rules page i need to update it. This doesn't include my backtest spreadsheet which I will upload when i am finished. Once the new software comes out and this thread starts getting more active I will start a new one with selections only.
-
I am still progressing with the back test. It's taking at least a day to do each month as I have to fit other stuff in too. That said, here are todays selections.
Filtered Trobs. One selection. You are looking for 3.5-9 odds range as usual
Pure Handicaps. As above. 3.5-9 odds range. It picked up a freak winner at 120 BSP yesterday, but that was an anomaly based on the backtest so far.
