IVE SPENT MUCH TIME TELLING SUBSCRIBERS ABOUT NOT BETTING FOR A PLACE EXCEPT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. Lately I have had a new look because THINGS HAVE CHANGED. The corporates are much more willing to offer good fixed prices for the place. On Saturday our first three top rated horses paid $1.80, $4.8 and $12.30…that”s right FOR THE PLACE. I ran the whole weekend through and for the 43% placed runners the profit was better than 10%. Now those runners I mentioned, well that was just NSWtote. The $12.30 runner was $18 fixed. The $4.8 was $5.5 best tote was , well $12.80 for the second one. It doesn’t matter. Pint is they are there and even later I backe Rimran e/w and got $2.75 for the horse deadheating for 3rd!. Sunday there was a $5.5 dividend and an overall profit. David Toulson is having a fresh look in between his own work shedule. Year to date (NSW place only) we have 43% consistently $2.00 and above and we now know that outside the average we can get an extra point or two on the longer priced ones for fixed prices rather than tote. Assuming at least middle tote we are not far from level stakes profit. Breaking it up further there is NO DIFFERENCE once you reach field sizes of 8 plus (three tote divs.) Yes runs of outs are more than possible, a run of 19 outs was recorded but that’s out of 20,000 runners so no big deal. Every month there are runs of up to 30 or more favourites in a row going down. Ros has moved over to the rehab hospital today, I expect she will be there for at least another week.
