Betting System
Follow that Horse!

Here is a posting from the horse racing forum by "Equine Investor" on June 11 which gives a very sensible way to make money backing horses.

"One of the best systems ever, is pick a stable of good credentialed horses. These horses must have wins at say open and above class races. You then follow these horses during their campaign."

Comment:
Providing you select the right ones..and stick with them, you can make an absolute killing. Especially when a horse runs eight lengths behind a winner, due to interference and comes out next start at 12/1 and bolts in.

The key of course is selection of the right horses. Go through any good formguide - you will see plenty of smart horses winning plenty of races, many at lucrative odds.

In a post on the horse racing forum on June 12 "chief" gave some excellent advice about horse selection and what to look out for.

"...This so-called stable system is a black book system, whereby you keep your blackbook up to date and current. Thousands of people do it and still lose - because:

1. They select the wrong horses to follow.

2. Several of these horses are in the same race - so one is confused on which to back - betting on all results in a loss.

3. A horse is added to the black book (stable) after it has already peaked and is on the way down.

4. A horse runs a good race - say fourth or fifth, whereby it looked like it would have won given more ground - when it fact it was at peak performance and made to look good by the pace of the race.

5. The horses are starting at short prices.

6. The blackbook or stable gets out of hand. That is you have too many horses in it and you don't know which to cull.

Most people have put together a "stable" and will not win due to these factors, unless their initial selection process is sound and they are able to recognise when a horse is "under" or "overs" in the market.

The only "killing" going on is when you eliminate a horse from your stable and it comes out and wins."
