    2nd Favourites at Grade 1 Courses
    System: Back all 2nd favourites in Selling and Claiming races at Ascot,
    Epsom, Goodwood, Kempton, New-
    bury, Sandown, York
    Date created: 23-Mar-02
    Initial Results: 25% strike rate, 17% profit
    Why does it work?: Because punters are not used to lowly sellers and
    claimers at the very best courses.
    They overbet 'he favourite and sometimes create false favourites. The
    second favourite is thus underbet and
    pushed into profitability.
    Bookies have to balance their books and with all the weight of money on
    the favourite, the price of the other
    horses tend to lengthen. The second favourite is the 'second best' horse
    in the race. If his price is higher than
    it should be, then in the long run he is valuable to follow.

    Beaten Favourites
    Back beaten favourites in Novice races.
    Horse must be fancied (SP < RUNNERS / 3.33) and not up in class
    Date created: 25-Aug-00
    Initial Results: 53% strike rate, 29% profit
    Why does it work?: All beaten favourites are generally underbet by the
    public. Punters see that they were
    beaten last time when favourite and assume that he could be beaten again today.
    The reason why Novice races are profitable for this system is not known.

    Next Day Runners
    Back horses who ran yesterday and are favourite today
    Date created: 27-Aug-00
    Initial Results: 40% strike rate, 29% profit
    Why does it work?: Punters are seriously underbetting this kind of
    horse. All next day runners do not make a
    profit. But those who are favourite win as often as a regular favourite
    but have the added advantage of being
    fit and strongly fancied by connections. The odds available for them is
    higher than it should be, thus a value
    bet can be had.

    Quick Return Handicaps
    Back colts and geldings who last ran within 3 days. Must have won within
    the past 4 weeks and SP in single
    figures
    Date created: 10-Mar-02
    Initial Results: 35% strike rate, 43% profit
    Why does it work?: a) Because males hold a tremendous edge over females,
    b) turning out quickly on the
    sand is a huge positive, c) by insisting the horse has won within 4
    weeks shows he has winning ability, d) sin-
    gle figure SP ensures that the contender is no donkey, or is not taking
    a big rise in class.

    Stakes races (not maiden), horse last ran within 3 days, 10 runners or
    less, the favouriteInitial Results: 57% strike rate 33% profit
    Why does it work?: Similar reasons to the handicap version - it is
    relying on quick returners. You
    could filter for males, but most of the qualifiers are males anyway.

    Favourite Colts
    Back Colts who won within 7 days and are the favourite
    Date created: 29-Jan-02
    Initial Results: 48% strike rate, 25% profit
    Why does it work?: Because punters seriously underestimate a) the
    importance of a recent win, b)
    colts on the all weather. This favourite is very much underbet by form
    punters and media pundits.

    6yo in Selling Stakes
    Back 6yo's in middle and long distance selling stakes in January. (Works
    best with contenders who
    are within the first three in the betting)
    Date created: 04-Jan-02
    Initial Results: 62% strike rate, 112% profit
    Why does it work?: Because of a flaw in the weight for age scale. On Jan
    1st all horses are one
    year older. In this month there are peculiarities in certain stakes
    races which creates biases to certain
    age groups. 6yo's in selling stakes are one such advantaged group.

    Recent Winners with Penalty
    Class D-E Handicaps (not 3yo+), winner LTO within 7 days, age < 6,
    penalty 4-7lbs, distance < 10f
    Date created: 26-Dec-00
    Initial Results: 42% strike rate, 27% profit
    Why does it work?: On turf as well as AW the penalty system is not penal enough. Trying to stop a
    winning horse with extra weight is like King Canute trying to stop the
    tide coming in. On the AW
    though, this advantage is greater.
    Don't be put off by the convoluted rules. It is slightly back fitted,
    but all the usual safeguards and tests
    have been done to prove the systems worthiness.

    CD Top weights
    Back CD winners who are top weight in Claimers and Sellers at 10f or more
    Date created: 20-Aug-00
    Initial Results: 47% strike rate, 30% profit
    Why does it work?: Punters underestimate the chances of CD top weights
    in those races. Most of
    the contenders are serial sand winners and punters refuse to bet them
    because they think a) the
    horse has won enough races, b) the horse is running in a seller or
    claimer so the connections can't
    fancy it if they risk it being bought. This is wrong. The serial CD
    winner in these races keeps on win-
    ning and beating the lower weighted runners.
    The provision of 10f+ is to ensure that the 'CD' has more meaning. The
    longer the race, the more the
    advantage of having won over the course and distance.

    al, thanks for your input although most of these angles have been known
    for decades in one form or another.
    I've been in this game since the 1960's and don't recall any horse running the next day,
    though this comes from North American tracks only. Don't know anything about the world's
    other tracks.
    The downside to all of this is...as laid out these angles happen far too infrequently
    to really matter to the bottom line.
