Systems
 

Lay System 1

Flat Racing only

Only races for 3YO+, 4YO+ etc. and no Maiden races or Selling races.

Horses must have run at least 3 times, (have 3 ratings figures shown on the race card).

Horses must have run last time out between 3 and 99 days.

No horses trained by Sir Mark Prescott.

No bet if all horses in the race are 9/1 or less.

No bet if one of the horses last three run speed figures was '1'.

Rules

Take the lowest highlighted (top 3 rated) figure from the Avg column.

Lay any horse that has not achieved this figure or better in any of its last 3 runs.

All horses must be at 8/1 or less at the 'off'. 

Example:

If the three figures highlighted in bold in the Avg column are 73, 72, 69 then any horse that has not scored a rating of 69 or better in any of its last three races is a potential qualifier, depending on its price and the rules above.

Many of the qualifiers over 9/1 lose or finish unplaced so this my be an angle you wish to add to this system.

Laying System 2

Flat, All Weather and Jump Racing

Any Handicap apart from Selling Handicap, Maiden Handicap or a Nursery (which is a Handicap for 2 year olds). Every other type of Handicap - 3YO, 4YO, Novice Hurdle etc. - is ok.

Rules

Only look at horses numbered 1 and 2 on the race card. (The top two horses on the race card).

Qualifiers must have no rating figures as one of the top 3 rated from either the Master column, the three Lto columns, the Avg column, the M+A column or the Cse or Dis columns, highlighted in bold.

Qualifiers must have a Master Rating figure. (Horses that ran over 365 days ago last time out will not have a Master Rating figure.)

Horses must have run last time out between 3 and 99 days.

All horses must be at 6/1 or less at the 'off'. 

Backing Systems

System 1

Look at all of the ratings for all of the last three runs in a race and note the highest three ratings figures. Any horse that has one of these top three ratings and is 8/1 or better is a qualifier. This 7/1 stipulation is suggested but you may decide that you will make this figure bigger or ignore it completely.

Horses that have one of these figures at least have this rating in the bag and as it is one of their most recent runs it should be possible for the horse to achieve it again.

System 2

Note any horse that has a rating in both the Cse and Dis columns. If the total of these ratings is the highest total of all of the horses in the race for Cse and Dis, then it is a qualifier. Again I recommend that you try and get at least 10/1 for all selections here but this is up to you.

Obviously a horse with good course and distance ratings must have chance and often come in a very good prices indeed.

System 3

On the M+A column, top rated horses with an M+A rating that is 3 or more bigger than the next top rated.

System 4

Any top 3 rated horse in the Lto column whose finishing position for it's last race was 4th or worse.

System 5.

Look for all races that are for four year olds and up. This will be shown by 4yo+ at the end of each race card heading. Of these only back in races that are run over a distance of 5 furlongs, 6 furlongs, 7 furlongs or 1 mile.

You will be backing the top 3 or 4 rated in the Dis (distance) column as long as there is only a maximum of 4 highlighted in bold type.

If a race has more than 4 highlighted in bold type in the Dis column, this race must be watched for any non runners and if a number of non runners brings the highlighted horses down to 4 or less then you will back the top 3 or 4. If there are 5 or more top rated horses in the Dis column at the off then you must leave this race alone.

If non runners bring the number of highlighted horses down to less than three, then you will have to find the next top rated horses yourself that are left in a race and always back a minimum of three.

Changing the rules to suit you.

You may wish to back in races for all older horses (3yo+ and 4yo+)

Also any distance or change the distances to suit you.

You may wish to only back in races where a profit is guaranteed where the prices of the three or four you are backing are all more than the number of bets you are placing.

System 6

Look at the top 3 rated in the Master column. This is the first three if there are more than 3 highlighted, so a race where you have horses on 78, 78, 77, 76, 76 all highlighted, just the 78's and 77 horses count.

If any of these are also highlighted as top 3 in the VDW and Rating column, then this is a bet. On occasions you may have more than one bet in a race
