How to Come Up with Your Own Horse Racing System (Part 2)
This is the continuation of the last post about tips for coming up with your own horse racing system. I ended with the idea that you should check out when the horses last raced. I remember writing that the more recent the last race is, the better it is. However, let me qualify that. If the horse raced only a few days ago, this principle would not hold. The horse would probably still be tired from the last race. The idea is to stay away from horses that have been out of the race track for extended periods of time.
Another consideration would be the distance of the race. Not all horses are the same – some run better for certain distances. A race that is too short may not be enough for a horse to show its true form. On the other hand, some horses cannot run the distance. As such, you have to take into account the horse’s capability and the distance to be run.
Take into consideration what the “experts” say. I know you are trying to come up with your own system and you may not want to rely on tipsters. Yet the whole process of finding your own system would include paying attention to those who have experience. I am not saying that you should merely listen to what they say. My point is that if a lot of experts (say 60% - 80%) predict a certain horse winning, find out why. Then take your cue from there.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?

The idea about taking into account when a horse last raced is an interesting one. I remember a system where one of the principle rules was that the horse returns to the track within a few days of its last run.
Can’t remember why this was important but it was something to do with the trainer entering the horse in the previous race not to win, then entering it quickly into another so that the odds are higher and the trainer/jockey goes for the win.
Good information. But I have found that the most important thing is you have to have a money management system or your selection system is worthless.
