I have to agree with Privateer. A strike rate of 44% on placegetters? Can't be done.

Also, you suggest the TAB 100 pointers as a good sauce (sic) of selections for your method. Do you actually know how they rate them? I've been kind of disappointed by their results and am hesitant to trust something that perpetrates a fake market. Let the drunks back the 100 pointers.

My suggestion would be to look at the 100 rated horse, do your own analysis, and then, where logical, bet against it (for a place of course).

Privateer alluded to the "obvious" favourite not being the most statistically sound favourite in another post. Check it out.
