I found it an interesting foot note to Mr B's form improvement, that's all Of course it's not a 'system' per se although I use BO sometimes to invest on ID'd form horses who're under the radar...i.e caught wide, checked et el but still running well to match other in that class, of course at value -
Why don't they AI the 'handicapping' Would we hear trainers of 'up and comers' complaining they were giving away weight to G1 performers even though their pure performance figure was superior? After all that's what handicapping should be doing isn't it Equalising outcomes with wieght not past perfromance?

I didn't think they would all win but going by your continued championing of this I would've expected one of them to win - maybe. Face it, it's an idiotic system when it comes to making money. I notice you declined to post anything you thought would win under your 'system'. No surprises there - at least you're consistent. -
I don't do stupid questions normally but I'm feeling sorry for dumb animals today Maybe Dad saw Dan's ratings and how he'd dropped off normal highs, even when winning a G1 3 starts previously?? You'll hear many trainers talk about "saving blinkers up" knowing how well they've trained/trialed in them As for PL's 'thoughts' re '50%" of the time stat...give me a freaken break My reason day tear is profiling horses that have raced in superior races.. to win a certain amount and in adding 20% for blinkers...I'm trusting the trainer believes his horse is even more superior with a gear change

By Mike Love Waterlea trainer Allan Shutkowski inched ever close to 50 career wins when when Fredastaire was successful at Ashburton’s Cup Week Showcase meeting on Thursday. Handled superbly by driver Jim Curtin, the three year old Ultimate Machete gelding was able to secure an economical run in the Spraymarks Roadmarking and Traffic Management Mobile Pace. He was then presented at the top of the straight to chase down tearaway leader A Better Jackalack to win in a close finish. Fredastaire stopped the clock at 2:58 for the 2400m with closing sectionals of 57.8 and 28.0. “We thought he’d go pretty good. He’s a genuine kind of horse,” said Shutkowski. “We raced him in the summer and autumn and he was still just a bit slabby, so he ended up getting three months off which was a blessing. This time in he’s been going excellent. Everything we’ve done so far has been to his benefit.” Shutkowski (pictured above, in blue) and team headed south a couple of days beforehand as he is not the best traveller. Fredastaire is bred and raced by Anthony “Tubby” Smith, along with Allan and his wife Petrina. “Tubby has played around with horses all of his life. He bred him. He liked Ultimate Machete because the granddam (Maureens Dream) was by Lordship.” “I’ll get no credit for the win. My wife Petrina has done all the work with him lately,” laughed Shutkowski. Fredastaire has now won one from 14 starts and placed six times, while trainer Shutkowski is one win away from 50 training successes. “We will aim to be at Westport over Christmas. He will go somewhere before then.” Shutkowski works a team of five including Ha’penny. “Ha’penny was going good at Kaikoura but couldn’t sprint with them. She’s been having trouble with tying up. She’s actually quite a good horse.” “We have a Sweet Lou out of C A Penny, and Tubby has a Sky Major half to Fredastaire which goes really nicely who are both two year olds.” View the full article
