[AusRace] The Longshot Plan

[Tony Moffat]

>From the Age of systems - the 50's and 60's.
The author here explains the procedures completely and advises you
must be temperamentally suited to 'play' a system, or else never
attempt to operate one in the first place.
Systems-operation is no sport for the chicken-hearted, he says
Also,You must have tenacity of purpose, repeated.
And, Systems fail because the operator hasn't got the tenacity of
purpose -this is repeated.
Then there are usually examples of bad runs, and straight away, good
runs demonstrations.
The XX Longshot Plan - you work on 7 races throughout the year.
(a)	Grand National Steeplechase -the selection is the runner which
finished 4th or 5th or 6th in the Kensington Steeplechase a week
earlier. If the runner who came 4th is entered, it is the selection.
Disregard other entries. If there are no runners from the Q race there
is no bet on the GN
(b)	Footscray Steeplechase - if there is a runner in this that
came 4th or 5th or 6th in the Kensington Steeplechase then it becomes
the selection. Disregard other entries.
(c)	Australian Steeplechase - the selection is the horse which won
the Godfrey Watson Steeplechase or the horse which ran second in that
race.
(d)	Spring Stakes - the selection is the topweight.
(e)	Caulfield Guineas - same selection as the Spring Stakes but
only if it won the Spring Stakes.
(f)	Melbourne Cup - the selection is the runner who finished in
the Caulfield Cup
(g)	Sandown Guineas - the selection is the filly who did best of
the 4th,5th,6th in The Oaks.
A 400 pound bank is suggested and 10% of the highest level the bank
reached as the stake.

It got skinny towards the end, and off a million pound bank you
were betting 100,000 each time -that is tenacity of purpose.

An assessment after a couple of years in would have resulted in you
wanting
To drop the MC bet, wouldn't it.
The race names have changed, the scheduling has changed so the races
don't appear on the
calendar as they once did. I don't know the basis of the selection
rules, they worked occasionally though, right.
