Forgiving a Poor Run
RULE 1: Consider any horse that finished fourth or worse in its last run.
RULE 2: Must have won the race before.
RULE 3: Must be priced at less than 10/1 in the pre-post betting market for today's race.
RULE 4: If there is more than one qualifier in a race there is no bet for that race.
RULE 5: Stake 5 pts to win on each selection.
The cdsystems website comments: "Punters tend to place too much emphasis on a horse's most recent performance. As a result, a runner with a valid excuse for failing on its last run is often under-bet next time out, even though it may have been showing some decent form previously.
"The price limit attempts to rule out horses that are outclassed in today's event." |
