This week I have received two new systems from Sportsworld Publishing. The first was Mark Layton’s 1000 Points a Year and the second Roger Purssord’s Follow the Fortunes. They are both interesting in their way for two separate reasons.
Mark Layton was the winner of the Sporting Investors Club System Tipping Competition. He won this with his Gamekeeper Turned Poacher Laying system. His new backing system and its claimed result of making over 1000 point profit for each of the last 3 years make sit well worth a look. I am paper testing it and will post the results onto the Premier Betting Club web site. In the meantime if you would like to read my initial impressions visit http://www.horseracingsystemsreview.com
Follow the Fortune is a completely different proposition. Uniquely it is totally devoid of any claims of past performance or future projections. If for no other reason than this I could not resist adding it to my list of sites to be tested. To be honest this system revolves around the horses price and position in the betting market. I have never regarded this as a good starting point for any system. However, I am always willing to be proved wrong and as regular readers to this blog will know this is not an unusual occurrence.
I came across some interesting statistics the other day which I will pass on.Not surprisingly form is the major factor when deciding a horse potential to win its race. Figures show that 65% of all races are won by a horse that finished in the first 6 in its last race. After form fitness seems to be next consideration as 66% of all winners have had a run in the previous 28 days. It is also noticeable that those that have run in the previous 8 to 14 days have a significantly higher success rate than those that ran 15 to 28 days before.
I do not think that this information on its own will help you find many winners but I cannot help wondering if there might not be something that could be developed using it as a starting point. I suspect that there are trainers who regularly send a horse out for a pipe opener and then within the next 8 to 28 days send them out to win. Finding trainers who does this on a regular basis (if they exist) could point you to interesting winners. It is just a thought.
