Harlem won for the second year in a row and our Member Mick gets two amazing long shot successes although this year we didnt have him on top but he rated equal with our top pick Shilelagh but only if we ignored the low strike rate AND used last years Cup as our guide. Our pick was so close.. oh well theres always next year. It wasn’t our best day with a number of selections runing second. Our Bolter selection Fundamentalist looked to have the measure of The Autumn Sun but got run down Winx like and Nakeeta Jane didn’t go down without a fight but but was well back in third.

Highstrikers Last Minute Mail had few successes on what was a killer day BUT Sunlight was the highlight. What a performance! It’s the only time I havent had her on top or second rated in her career to date and the first time I havent been on her. She just totally outsprinted them.

Still, it’s another day today and our chance will come. Last year our best result came late in the Autumn with a $80,000 First 4. Hope this years comes soon. By the way, have you noticed the performance of Z1Pay and Afterpay lately? Zip hit $1.80 on Monday and I told you about this company when they were at $1.10. Afterpay hit $21. You will still see some volatility but every time they sign up new merchants the price goes up. I had a losing week on the horses, it happens but a big winning month so far on the stockmarket, think $80,000 plus in one stock alone. Yes Zip !

Hey apart from the chorizo quiches we had for breakfast, they made Ros and I sick until we got them out of our system, we made it home by last night in time for me to updated the Autumn Preview and there are some good opportunities there but equally there are some races that offer no advantage over the bookies/.

The weather is good both Sydney and Melbourne (it was snowing at my son’s farm in Tassie yesterday) this weekend and the traxcks will be fixed so that they are not too hard for those horses that cant handle the really fast tracks we used to have.

We are leaving the current YouTube Winform Racing Seminar up for another few days to allow everyone to view it before we release part two. It may even be part 3 or 4 as we go on. I want to update some of our February stats as well.

We’ve had a good response as there are hundreds of Members who were never able to set aside up to three or four days for a Seminar at a location far from them although we have had attendees from as far afield as New Zealand and Perth, you cant get much further away than that.

So good luck for today AND the weekend.

Pleased to see the Hotshots do so well in February  (7.4 units profit) but disappointed with the Country selections, only 17% winners and country has continued to let us down over the weekend. Our Autumn package had its first flop so far with only one stand out winner although Alessio at $14 made a nice dutching in the last at Randwick. The Australian Guineas, well we got the winner, 3rd and 4th but Hawkshot we only put into 3rd and 4th place. Yesterday e took another blast with Widgee Turf being outridden at Wangaratta with the leader dawdling most of the way and it simply could not sproint when it was on. Only beaten a nostril but thats all it takes.

We are away in Melbourne for the week amongst the excitement with the build up to the Golden Mile so Members should email us rather than phone. Or phone and be prepared to wait until the message option comes up and please leave a phone number, we have multiple Ians and Daves and so on . I have a bit of a cold and its hard to pick up voices in this state.

Our Winform top two select tracks had a  35% race strike rate (10% above all tracks) and a solid profit at Best Of The Best. Longest losing run was only 6 races.

Our HR2D select tracks had a hard run in Feb even though overall the all tracks result was good.Highstrikers Last Minute Mail didnt make a profit Saturday but DID find some double figure winners.

It’s interesting that the biggest most consistent subscriptions of our less expensive ones we have is for the HR2D with the smallest percentage of unsubscribes. Winform Ratings subscribers and the Gold Club have been remarkably stable over the past three years but being the most expensive service, there are fewer of them but as they are mostly professional or semiprofessional punters and the numbers rarely change.

Premium had a nice result , holding some longer priced winners for a change. Best Bets had an unusually off month 65% placed but few won. Its only a small sample though. Have a great week. I know we will. Mile

Our Autumn package subscribers and Gold Club Members can view our preview as at 3.30 p.m. Wednesday and it will be a busy day with lots of good quality horses making our cut. The bookies haven’t missed much but there is one outsider which we expect may improve. It is a dual acceptor and while disappointing does look a hope in each of the races. If not we do have other choices as we may have to back three runners in each of those races. I don’t mind that. I’d rather back three runners for a higher expected strike rate than plop for one that fails to score.  It makes more sense not to rely on one runner.

In my Super Fund I have had a massive winner with Zippay and cashed out today but will buy back in on market weakness and we know that will happen. A lesser win with Afterpay which I may sell out of soon and a brilliant win with Jumbo International. Two of those three were very much outsiders and you know what? I have lost more money with big name shares , some of which are still sitting in my account just hoping to recover one day.

G8 Education was a big loss for me, down $38,000 at one stage but now $3,000 in front plus dividends. Tassal Group (salmon producers) the same, well much more than $3,000 up in their case.

Today I am into FLX and P2P, check it out if you like and I expect a big win there too.

Anyhow, even though my stockmarket winners are about 33% of my wins I do get massive collects by reseaching the “form”. Same with Racing and I will post a video tomorrow with some of my “winner” and some of them only ran a place. My biggest wins last year were First Fours and Quinellas or Trifectas and Quaddies of course. Best of luck in tonights Launceston Cup.

Hi Everyone, a bit of a problem last night.. no daily feature due to server problems BUT the good news is Crack The Code was our top rated runner at Moonee Valley race 7 and Embrace Me 2nd rated at ^6.2 and $7.3 respectively The actual prices available were $6.5 and $31 so what do you think about that. Most punters have brains and if they exercised them they could not mis that opportunity with Embrace Me paying $36.90 best tote. It was a no brainer. Sad to say Ros and I arrived home late last night (in transit all day) and with internet problems I didnt even get to see it.

Today we had server problems again and we weere relieved to find we hadnt been hacked as that would have been a disaster. Anyhow it was all posted excpet for Gold Club, only missed a couple of losing bets.

Anyhow, just s[otted a top rated winner at Eagle Farm $12 into $10 and our run of 2nd with maidens and Best Bets continued unabated today.

So many money back races today its unbelievable but I havent scored any and zero winners as at 2.15 although our Hotshot at Morphettville ran 2nd @ $3.20 a place ( I chose this option rather than save on the first starter favourite.

 

Good luck today, I hope to see the quaddie in our hands today and the Blue Diamond Quinella. Missed that Quinella (1stand 4th)but Gunnedah race 4 I couldnt believe it. Our top three rated runners were all $151 to win and $26 fixed to Place. I backed them all e/w  PLus I couple them up in the Quinella with the next 5 rated runners (the fav was 6th rated) and I never had a worry except wulda been nice if the top rate $151 runner got the photo, it would have won in the next stride. I juts cpuldnt believe that in a weak country race Moree Dreaming had one dominant win from four starts and rated a $3.10 chance by Winform. Vicbet paid over $300 for the Quinella, hope a few Members got it! Well two legs in the Quaddie but wont pay much if Nature Strip gets up. I think a back marekr will get it.
