Tight As horse racing system

This is a system designed to eliminate a lot of those "interest" (read losing) bets that you tend to have from week to week by supposedly making the rules so
stringent that you only end up with the "creme de la creme". Most people would however need to be using it seven days a week to get enough bets in a week to
make it all seem worthwhile - such is the nature of the "punting beast".

THE RULES

Operate on races 1100 to 1800 metres, no weight for age, no straight track races, no fewer than 8 runners

1) Eliminate any horse that did not finish 1st., 2nd. or 3rd. at its last start or is not first up over 1100 or 1200

2) Eliminate any horse whose combined win and place career percentages don't total at least 80%

3) Eliminate any horse that is not in the first five of the betting with 15 minutes to start time

4) Eliminate any horse that is going up 200 metres in distance or dropping more than 100 metres since its last start. (Be exact - none of the "oh, 140 metres is
almost 100". Discipline required. )

5) Eliminate any horse 7 years old or older

6) Eliminate any filly or mare in a mixed gender race

7) Eliminate any horse that didn't finish within 3 lengths of the winner last start -unless it is a qualifier under the first up rule

8) Eliminate any runner that is moving from a provincial race to a city race or from one State to another (be aware however of cross border runners between NSW and Victoria who are trained in that border area in SE Qld and Northern Rivers, NSW - they aren't eliminated)

Note well: We have not tested this system. We have no idea what the financial outcomes may be.
