21 of 50 got up today (42% SR).
Yesterday there were 9 from 20 (45% SR).

Thanks to sport of kings.

Not sure if you meant to write 89 LAYS above. I actually wrote 89 DAYS out of last 100 DAYS. In that time I layed about 700 horses of which 11 won at an average price of $25. That should be pretty clear, I hope.

If you had simply coupled up the 2 shortest price neurals in each race today in a $10 quinella you would have won $960.
Out of interest was there a decent profit from the 41% winners?

Perhaps we should start a neurals thread instead of taking over Michael's DS thread?
Happy to do it if Michael wishes it to be.

SpeedyBen, no need to start a new (neural) thread. Please keep on posting here.

Laying Neurals update
 

When I reported in yesterday it was 5 o'clock and Ascot and Launceston hadn't run. That brought another 5 winners in for the Neural camp which meant 6 Back wins from 28 races after taking out Skyform favs. Not a good enough edge to Lay.

Interesting how in isolated areas, like TAS, No. 1 rated horses produced more winners. Reminds me of why the hi tech syndicates do so well in Hong Kong, only 2 racetracks and a limited number of horses to rate. Food for thought. Maybe if someone had the time, look at Win percentage of No 1 rated horses in Tas compared with the mainland?

Mate looking at the two horses that brought you undone yesterday, Executive Action, Ascot R8, was only having its 2nd start! Sacred Snaadee had dropped in class and they put a top hoop on board. It was a trainer's setup from the start! Had a kid on board in an Open last start, brought it back this time in a 0-71 Hcap and put a jockey on board with a near 48% strike rate for a place. This is what we're up against! I think your selection method is reasonable but once you get your shortlist have a look for anything sneaky.

Feeling versus Fact
 

True.

I just notice them more when I am going backwards.

Brilliant work on the trading by the way.

Riconpaul, it was priced at $100 in Don Scott's market. However we applied a filter that no selection can have a T, D or C in its form, but a few days ago I decided to do away with this filter...look what happens!

And the other accident was having it's second career start - this is only the second time this has led to an accident, and I'm sure that including these selections are showing a profit because there have been many of them.

Thanks for your concern and observations.
