It was close to Christmas, obviously, and I expect that Santa had partaken too much of the free spirit being offered to guests and elfs and himself. It was on the back stairs of the curved grandstand at Moonee Valley and sick Santa was due to come down the main straight in a sleigh pulled by a tractor, it was dry and overcast actually quite dark for maybe 3.00pm in the afternoon. I had been to the toilet nearby, the best actually always clean and rarely used except by the staff. Anyway, as I said Santa got to the bottom of the stairs and vomited, just missing an attendant elf, there were about four of those and in a most unlikely elfen manner one of them said 'oh fucking hell, he's pissed again ' so I'm thinking that Santa needs to drink more and get his body used to it. So what did they do, well they put back Santa arrival by one race, they took his outfit off and surprise, surprise he was wearing shorts and long socks and a short sleeved shirt. Then they inspected his outfit and one of the tiny elves put it on and she doubled as Santa although her hat was way too big. They came down the main straight and turned into the race and came towards the grandstand and the kids went beserk. Although the buzz word for that back then was beresk. When Santa left the sleigh there was a silence as it was realised s/he was tiny, I mean there were taller elves that maybe could have stepped in but no, this brave kid put the suit on, tied it in with tinsel so that the pants stayed up, rolled the leg of the trousers up and wore thongs, it being summer and all I guess. Anyway Santa, small as she was walked amongst the crowd stating Ho ho ho and throwing lollies around and in a few seconds the kids got into it and he went up to her chair and held court there. There were photos of giant kids on tiny Santa knee and more lolly throwing, I personally caught and ate a Roses chocolate, more than one before they melted, and I am unsure of the fate of the sick Santa, but he was presented next year so I am going to say that he survived. The pool of spew was left there, presumably this was not elf responsibility although the assuming of the Santa persona was, and well done to stand in Santa, you are a trooper. That day, the Santa upset tummy day I was with friends, Keithy, Mark, Gavin, Aaron, Aarons Mum and Dad, Peter and Chas and another to make 10 at a party and we had a table in the betting auditorium, a booked area, provided you didn't leave the place because if you did the others would swoop on the chairs and the table and you couldn't move them or sort it without a blue. I backed the winner in the first, Here, as I thought the favourite was going to be covered up in the big field and Here had put in a good run although was only a 2 year old but had won at a big price the run before and won well from a wide barrier, as he had here. I saved on Yonder Song who ran third at a big price. The others had bet this for a place and won too. I stayed out of Race two, a three year old fillies race. In race three I backed Pipes and Minchins Lane which won after a previous good run in a harder race. I stayed out of race 4, the second division of the three year old fillies although some of the others backed Lady Somerset for a place and made a profit with that. In race 5 I had a small bet on the tote on the winner Flying Visit and saved on Kerrys Son which lost, it was not a race I would normally bet in, there were a few form gaps here, all runners had form but it was dodgy. Santa did her thing after this race so that made it even more special. In race six I backed three runners, I saved on Society Man which won, I backed Mac's Indian which came second, and lost on Recollect which was unplaced and hopeless and there was a big boo for it afterwards. I didn't see anything wrong with the ride so somebody lost their $5 I guess, that's usually why they boo. I did not have a bet in race 7, I had a pie though and a talk with the others although I had walked up to have a place bet on Lucidium, Brent Thompson riding from barrier 15 but the queue was long, it was close to start and I was still in the queue and about 5 persons back when they jumped. It placed but the place dividend was weak, so somebody, Keithy maybe, had plonked on it. Later, he said he had a good win, making nearly $3300 on that bet. I should mention he is a big punter, carries $3000 minimum on course with him often and most often much more. Don't touch his money because, just don't try it is my advice. That's big money for anybody. Keithy often backed horses to place, his hot shot picks paying $1.70 and he had $1000 on it, a profit to him of $700. He didn't shrink back though, the rest of us would stop and lock in the profit. Not him, he would look for something in the next and tip $200 on the nose and a $1000 for the place on it. He left the place loaded often, he used to go to a toilet stall out of the way and sit on the seat and straighten out all the notes, put them all the same way then bundle them into flat groups of ten notes, all beautifully arranged the correct way round, then he put the packs of money into his coat, in pockets sown in by his partner Amanda, so that he looked respectable as he left, his coat buttoned up in 95 degree heat sometimes. Amanda took the money out when they got home and there was a lot for them, some for her and some for Keithy, never a disagreement because that's how it was, and I cannot suppose or guess how much money was in the place after a couple of good weeks on the punt, and he bet other days as well, either up to his local TAB or if he lost at that one he went to another, yes, apparently TABS have feelings. It was this last trait of his, the superstitious Keithy that could name or blame most things or occurrences on his belief in the supernatural. Its what kept Amanda around too, she was very spiritual that girl and her life evolved around them, the spirits from food, to travel, to clothes, to colours, to sex so probably everything came down to superstition. I never had sex with Amanda although she suggested we should be doing it, often, and Keithy said she did meet men elsewhere sometimes. It's a different world made up of different people. But Keithy and his superpowers made him a tidy quid occasionally, although I believe his high priced ratings he paid for also helped there, he got all the metro meetings and the ratings came in the mail, he was hardly organised and sometimes he had misplaced his ratings pages between, the bedroom, the office, the toilet or the kitchen and he lived in a converted hotel so there were lots of rooms. In the last race that day, Santa special day, I backed Silver Kiwi for a place and saved on Chance Landing which was unplaced and heavily backed when there was a delay at the start. So I had a winning day as Silver Kiwi placed and paid good. Keithy must have won a bit too, a bit by his standards meant a lot of winnings. The previous week at Flemington it was hot and sunny and it was quiet on course, no Santa this time, and Keithy backed Kilkenny Kid in the hurdle for $400 place and won $200. Then he backed the favourite in Race 2 Sardius which won paying a $1.90 so he won $380 for his $200 on him. He had $400 on Delphi Rose with the books and won $1000 there. He had $100 place on Persian Saint and it placed but there was a lot of other money for it to and he made $110 on that he said. In Race 6 he took Paignton straight out at 7/1 and also had $1000 place on Arms Hussar, Paignton won and the other placed paying $1.80 so he was $1600 up on that one. He backed Sue Lad in the next and it placed paying $2.10 with his usual $1000 and saved on Sky Castle with $100 with the books, which I placed, and it lost. In the last he lost $300 when Pure Heart failed to place and ran down the track. He would not tell me how he decided to finance his betting, his big wins were on place bets but how he decided the value of the bets he did not divulge, I think he meant to but he kept the mystique going for a while. Certainly he bet on well qualified horses, they definitely had a chance of figuring in the finish and often his was the public elect, the favourite in other words. His announced winnings were awry as well, I mean he said he won $380 on Sardius after he bet $200, and he won't have it that he won $180, he cannot win back or what ever word he uses for it less than he put on, that's not punting is it. But he recorded things in detail, his after race writing was better than his before race assertions, put it that way. Amanda was often just outside his flailing radius, he rode them home, in the stand, on the lawn, in the car. They won because he made them do that, and you never heard why they lost, but more on that soon. It wasn't always beer and skittles though. The week before again, and I wasn't at this meeting, he won on the 2nd,4th and 5th race but lost on the day because two bigger bets failed to salute. So he had $250 and $400 bets but his $1000 bets otherwise did not place. It was wet and windy at Caulfield he said and that is never a good sign apparently, but he still piled it on to lose $3000 on the day and Amanda had to go another week without her beauty treatments. Poor love. But he drove around until he found a church with the lights on and Benediction running so all good. She is intensely religious which seems at odds with how it is afterwards. Mark on the other hand is a punting mate who knows a lot. He rates his runners, their performance in various previous races and the quality of those races against the runners in this up coming race and the overall race quality again. He then has a good oversight of the ability of his runners so he can select with that knowledge but he involves the jockeys and the barriers they start from at this distance. He has most angles covered he believes and spends several hours every week preparing for this one day, a Saturday in Melbourne at the races. He doesn't talk much until about the 3rd race and he may have finished betting then as he generally locks in a profit by banking any winnings and he is content to look on. He is a professional, race course betting is how he makes his living and re investing those winnings is how he makes money long term. He has houses and shops and small industrial units all paying him a dividend. He hopes to stop and spend his money, all of it he says, some day soon. He wants to travel relentlessly, just follow a band around the world for instance, something he has done several times previously. He has a girlfriend, Marg, and they have been together since primary school. They are both health nuts, running and gym workouts, and own a building where a gym resides, he says. Mark may specialise in races where the favourite deserves to be so. He often has big bets on short priced horses because he has assessed it is worth it, and the general public and the bookmakers also have the same opinion. He almost always single picks, he backs one horse only. At a meeting just after Christmas, the Santa episode Christmas, he backed Mighty Czar for a big amount and he made 2.50 for each dollar he spent, a profit of 250%. It was a sizeable profit I believe, in the order of $10000. He took a cheque from the bookmaker and $2000 then had $10 bets on some races, 3 I think, and snared some quinellas in them, then he backed On the Prowl at 4.60, Quashqai at 3/1 although it started longer and he rushed to put a thousand on it on the tote and it paid $5 and in the last race he and Marg backed Sportscast everytime it went out to even money, they walked in with $500 bets with 5 bookies. It was a devastating win, I mean perhaps a $30000 result just on that race and maybe $50000 for the day. I went out to tea with them that night and we did not talk about the races until about 2.00am when Marg said it had been a good day and we stopped for a coffee and he showed me some of the cheques. Mark said he was driven somewhat by the price of the runner he was backing as, to him, this was an indicator that the money was 'on' and the stable connections and owners and smarties, which included these two, had concluded that the chosen runner was value, even though its price was skinny. As an aside, I may concentrate on the same race hoping that the smart money is wrong and subsequently my selections, often 3, nearly always two, will have an inflated price because of the thinking and application of money. Mark acknowledges that but he stays down the short end of the price spectrum and does well with it. He estimates he has won, he has made as profit, close to $400000 from racing and has the asset backing to stop at any time. He says he would never give back the $400000, he would appraise his betting monthly and would order or force himself to stop if he started to lose big. He has gone three races, three consecutive races over two days where he has lost, so his pick on day one lost, his two picks on day two lost, then his first pick on the next day won and then he won again the same day and he recouped his spends. He share trades too and has an income there and that is where Marg really assists by reading and assessing and advising on trades, those that may rise several cents overnight but he has so many of the shares that it amounts to a sizeable profit and he sells and re invests in something else. His betting method takes some mind control and a certain detachment from the result, if it happens it is expected, and if it doesn't trust your method and plonk your money down again. At Caulfield one year just prior to the Cup we were at theraces, Mark and I, Marg and others and I had my list of bets. I was confident I had looked at all the angles of exposed form and made my selections impartially, just off their merits. I stayed out of the first race and Mark and Marg backed the winner, a good size bet at 6/4 with the bookies but which paid $1.10 on the tote and he had had $1000 on there, $1000 out and $1100 back but his profit was with the big bet with the bookies. He was happy to look on he said, his money made. In the 2nd I backed King Zavata as a saver, it won, at 4/1 and another which lost at 8/1 - Miss Budweiser ridden by Malcolm Johnston. There was less than a length between the first 6 horses. We went for a meal and watched a couple of races, and I missed a few bets but that was ok because they failed to flatter as they say in the racing papers, Love Bandit would have been a saver and won whereas the prime pick lost, this was Willow Star. Then the next race, I missed the winner and in fact almost everybody did because it started long priced, but I got a third and this would have been my choice of betting also. Anyway, as I said we had a meal, a rump steak for me. The next race Mark and Marg had a sizeable bet on Shannara at 2/1 and it won and I backed Epillette at 7/1 and Monocle at 25/1 each way and it ran second. In the Caulfield Cup I backed three runners, Mighty Kingdom on the tote and it won paying 11.80, Warri Symbol which ran second and Kingston Town, a good horse which however ran unplaced today and its regular jockey, Malcolm Johnston rode the winner. Mark and Marg may not have had a bet on the Cup. We all sat out the rest of the meeting and I think I was on the way home before the second last race. But it was a good day dollar wise and well the rump steak made it for me, although the company was superb too. Keithy, his name for himself, was fascinating to talk to. He had come here from the UK with nothing and worked on a wheatbelt farm in WA for a few years then went mining, prospecting and made a fortune which he used to buy a company which went broke so he went prospecting and made a fortune which he invested and lost it again so he went prospecting and made a fortune but hung on to this one, bought shares, bought equipment that he hired out, bought real estate, paid prostitutes and went looking for pearl and abalone and coal and gold. He was wealthy but did not flaunt it, he had an up market ute and an old Rolls Royce and lived in an old pub on the outskirts of Melbourne. He was a friend of Micks first I think through vehicle and trailer hire that he owned and Mick used exclusively when he was working, they socialised a lot and Keithy often had a girl on his arm, and often the same girl Amanda and I don't know but I suspect she had called herself that. She stuck to Keithy like glue and got paid for the presence he said. She felt me up occasionally but I gracefully declined and she smiled and nodded and said nice man, your wife lucky. Really, tell her I thought. Rose and I had stayed with Keithy on and off when visiting earlier but Rose was concerned about Amanda and I think tried to change her. There were lights on all night down their end of the house and Keithy booming baritone urging her to do more or do it again or something else. But Keithy had made and lost several fortunes and lived it up while he had this one to support him. He made sense sometimes when he spoke saying that entrepeneurs like him still exist, are still prepared to roll up, parlay everything and score big when it works or lose it all if it doesn't. Fearless or crazy he had his actions examined by a PhD girl, an accountant perhaps and she showed him that if he had kept a third of what he had made and kept doing what he had done but only rolling over the two thirds of it he would be crazy wealthy. He was he said, crazy and wealthy, although I doubt it. He still knew the price of a pie, the true test of a scrooge I reckon and he was good to be around even without the amazingly sexual being that is Amanda. He liked the races did Keithy and he was often cashed up with thousands to plonk on something. He asked me my opinion and I was cautious, suggesting a little on this or that or both so he would have $2000 on it and the rails bookies asked him to bet with me mate, top fluctuation for you, but they didn't like him too much. He won and walked off and didn't give them a crack at getting it back plus whatever else there was in his zipped up paper grab bag he carried his money. He took $10000 cash and the balance in cheque and they wanted him to bet in the next but he sat with me as I had my $40 bets with the boys in the flat. He often had a quadrella bet, lots of combinations to win the last four races and he would put over $1200 or $1500 just for that and he got a few and got a few big divs as well but mostly he liked the one or two big bets and liked it best if they won. He often asked my opinion and the others in the group, but he had previously plonked on his and was happy with his choice, nor did he berate you for yours, just making conversation I think. If yours scored and his didn't he spent 10 minutes discussing the merits of both, don't worry, he had considered the winner but chose something else because of his technique. He watched from the stands and rode them home, a sizeable perimeter emptying around him as boomed out his choice, he was living and breathing the races for a while, .The rails boys were less than exciting if he lost, a too bad so sad gesture from them to him and an offer to take the favourite at the early price in the next but unless he had a horse, had researched and sometimes checked with me he rarely bet big like that. He had followers too, some who watched what he was doing down the left side of the ring and they would run off to back it on the tote with their $5 or give the info to the bagman for the man they were working for, the secret service that bookies don't have. He had houses and he had his big place, the old pub, the pub with no beer and no beer drinkers. They made a picture in the front bar once, used it for some scenes. Amanda was from the Phillipines and went to church. He would find me on course most days he was there, it was hard to avoid him, he was taller, wider and had had more hair than me and wore denim shorts and a sports jacket and brown shoes and light brown socks and he was fit and strong and younger. He has a tattoo, a failure, on his forehead near the hairline, it was done by him, in the mirror and he can't spell. It was to be LOUISE perhaps, but of course it is reversed and starts as ESIO, and stops, I did mention he cant spell. There are underline lines on his forehead too, but he hasn't got the letters inked in there yet.He was going to have it lasered off, but you don't know its there unless he gets Amanda to shave his head, then he wears a bandana to hide the spelling mistake. There are others on his scalp, the equator and the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, and these were applied by a girl in Malmo, Sweden where he returns every winter and she knew her work. Mark was the studious one, a form guru I believe, a tall man and impeccably dressed, not overstated but no denim, nice trousers and shirt and shoes and gorgeous woman, three or four and often two together, and he would sit with me and talk about the next and what did I think and I said and he agreed or talked to me about his pick and why. He had variables that he placed importance on, the jockey, the last start, the last finish, todays weight, its barrier. He single picked too, fined it down to one and often this meant none because he couldn't see a ready made winner, or more often a place getter at odds he liked. He was good though and successful. I had his notebooks for a couple of years and could fathom his way of selecting. He became a Dad early and left us for two years or so but said he had a leave pass when he returned and a couple of weeks after that his partner and their child were at the races, me holding the little tacker while she placed a tote bet and he went off to back one on the rails. Beautiful sleeping doll she was too, pretty like her Mum. He went full time at it for a few years and did ok, from his notes, and on days other than racing or form study he ran, distance with his wife and kid in a special pram. He is a pastoralist in SA now. Just few more I stumbled across during my time at the track for a couple of years back then. Keithy expected you at his banquet on Saturday night after Amanda had gone to church. But if you have a feasible excuse it was ok, he didn't worry too much about who came and often there would be a few hangers on, enjoying the $700 feast and drinks. I went to one then pulled the pin on them for the future, I had a truck or dozer to drive on Sunday I said, and I did. Keithey is feeling the effects of the good life and has been living in the Phillipines for a few years. Amanda still offers to have sex with me but my wife won't let me have an affair so I say no to her. Crazy life for some. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com From nick.aubrey at twonix.com Sun Mar 12 23:40:34 2017 From: nick.aubrey at twonix.com (Nick at Twonix) Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2017 23:40:34 +1100 Subject: [AusRace] Is Favourite-Longshot Bias dead ?

Message-ID: <000201d29d07$9dc597f0$d950c7d0$@twonix.com> Hi All, Firstly thanks to all those Ausracers who have registered for my FREE EPI service. I now have over 30 Ausrace lurkers and one of them who I have never meet nor talked to said . "I roll my own data, software and analysis, and don't pay for anything, but this looks like the most useful (currently) free product around for the overwhelming majority who depend on 3rd party stuff. So I'm stunned at the evident lack of interest from those who need this most. Anyway I was able to pick up some very useful strategy ideas after trying a few queries." With the likely prospect of a wet track this Saturday in Sydney for the Golden Slipper dash I thought I would use EPI to give me the answer. http://www.puntforprofit.com.au/2017/03/who-is-the-best-wet-weather-sydney-j ockey/ Cheers, AN From: Racing [mailto:racing-bounces at ausrace.com] On Behalf Of Nick at Twonix Sent: Sunday, 12 March 2017 11:41 PM To: 'AusRace Racing Discussion List' Subject: [AusRace] Is Favourite-Longshot Bias dead ? Hi All, Just to let you know that I'm now updating the EPI race results on a weekly basis so that yesterday's Saturday races (11 March 2017) are there now. Also for those that are interested I have just posed the question on my website . is Favourite-Longshot Bias dead ? Cheers, AN From: Racing [mailto:racing-bounces at ausrace.com] On Behalf Of Nick at Twonix Sent: Saturday, 4 March 2017 8:18 AM To: 'AusRace Racing Discussion List' > Subject: Re: [AusRace] Access FREE race results ... and much more Just to let everyone know that there is no software required to browse and export the results available in EPI. All you need is a web browser. Using EPI stats I have just made a post looking at Michelle Payne's performance over the last 14 months. Interested to hear what Len thinks. http://www.puntforprofit.com.au/2017/03/michelle-payne-the-good-the-bad-and- the-ugly/ Cheers, AN From: Racing [mailto:racing-bounces at ausrace.com] On Behalf Of Nick at Twonix Sent: Friday, 3 March 2017 6:55 AM To: 'AusRace Racing Discussion List' > Subject: [AusRace] Access FREE race results ... and much more Hi All, It looks like the Ausrace email list has run its course but thought I'd do one last post to let you know about a new racing project of mine . see below. Cheers, AN ---------------------------------------------------------- What started as a request from an Ausrace member to access Australian race results has now expanded into far more than what I thought was possible to deliver via the internet. What does Extreme Punter Intelligence (E.P.I.) provide ? * You can get results of all Australasian races run since January 2016 ... more than 233,000 horse race runs covering over 23,000 races ... involving 38,000 horses. * You can select results for a particular group of races ... or all runs for a specific horse .. or all rides for a particular jockey ... or any jockey / trainer combination. * You can compare the performance of an infinite number of system scenarios by using measures such as Strike Rate and the powerful A2E statistic. * You can export the results of any query into a CSV file. And due to the power of Microsoft's hosting of their Power BI application online (it's the BEST thing that Microsoft have ever done) a typical E.P.I query only takes a few seconds ... amazing when you consider there are over 235,000 race result records ! To access E.P.I you need to be a registered Member . but its FREE to join ... click here to either register or login. Oh and can you please use AUSRACE as the Member Group when registering.

I've loosened up the post filters so we should be able to post spreadsheets and/or pdf files around to make it easier to read these sorts of posts. Also html mail should work as well so you can post a more neatly formatted email rather than just plain text. This message is html format with image embedded so you can see what I mean.

What does Extreme Punter Intelligence (E.P.I.) provide ? * You can get results of all Australasian races run since January 2016 ... more than 233,000 horse race runs covering over 23,000 races ... involving 38,000 horses. * You can select results for a particular group of races ... or all runs for a specific horse .. or all rides for a particular jockey ... or any jockey / trainer combination. * You can compare the performance of an infinite number of system scenarios by using measures such as Strike Rate and the powerful A2E statistic. * You can export the results of any query into a CSV file. And due to the power of Microsoft's hosting of their Power BI application online (it's the BEST thing that Microsoft have ever done) a typical E.P.I query only takes a few seconds ... amazing when you consider there are over 235,000 race result records ! To access E.P.I you need to be a registered Member . but its FREE to join ... click here to either register or login. Oh and can you please use AUSRACE as the Member Group when registering.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <000c01d2a7fc$07c65000$1752f000$@twonix.com> Hi Paul, Unfortunately 30k record export is a current Microsoft Power BI limitation. However it can be overcome by dividing your export into 30 k chunks by using the slicers. E.g. export by year . I have added a column called ?Odds Rank? plus a measure called Top5 which shows the % of winners in the top5 of the market.

Based on the numbers I've just checked for 15, 16 and 17ytd in your data it's up over 13% each year which lines up more with where it should be. There goes the plan of laying all 3rd favs to make money lol I find it fascinating that despite having so much more information these days and computers to churn through the numbers favs still win around 33% of races year in year out - although they are up a little more so far in 2017 i'd be surprised if it doesn't even out once again. Interestingly if you backed every favourite using your best price figure you would've made a small profit each year. Overall, fascinating figures Nick - thanks very much for giving us access to them Paul On 03/29/2017 06:46 AM, Nick at Twonix wrote: > > Hi Paul, > > Unfortunately 30k record export is a current Microsoft Power BI > limitation.

Yes you are right about 33% fav strike rate. I have now added strike rate and betting analysis for Fav, Top2, Top3, Top4 , Top5 and Top6 . But interesting how these stats change with track condition. I will publish this with my update next Sunday.

G'day Nick Thanks for that - interesting figures I can't remember what years the book was about but the number that always stood out in my mind was that only 10% of 3rd favourites won. Based on the numbers I've just checked for 15, 16 and 17ytd in your data it's up over 13% each year which lines up more with where it should be. There goes the plan of laying all 3rd favs to make money lol I find it fascinating that despite having so much more information these days and computers to churn through the numbers favs still win around 33% of races year in year out - although they are up a little more so far in 2017 i'd be surprised if it doesn't even out once again. Interestingly if you backed every favourite using your best price figure you would've made a small profit each year. Overall, fascinating figures Nick - thanks very much for giving us access to them Paul On 03/29/2017 06:46 AM, Nick at Twonix wrote: Hi Paul, Unfortunately 30k record export is a current Microsoft Power BI limitation. However it can be overcome by dividing your export into 30 k chunks by using the slicers. E.g. export by year . I have added a column called "Odds Rank" plus a measure called Top5 which shows the % of winners in the top5 of the market.

G'day Nick Had a little look this afternoon and think it's kind of interesting. Couple of things. Is the export limited to 30,000 records or is that just a limitation at my end? I was hoping to be able to check how some stats were holding up from a book i had years ago around the first 5 in the market but your data doesn't seem to have that? Well not without a bit more work anyway Overall though, if anyone is big on stats they should have a look Cheers Paul Sent from my Samsung GALAXY S5 on the Telstra Mobile Network -------- Original message -------- From: Nick at Twonix > Date: 26/03/2017 08:33 (GMT+10:00) To: 'AusRace Racing Discussion List' > Subject: Re: [AusRace] Is Favourite-Longshot Bias dead ? Hi All, Still very slow on Ausrace . have not received a new post in over 2 weeks so I thought I'd send one . I have added TRACK CONDITION to the FLB query so you can now see how FLB results change according to various track conditions. The results astounded me. Especially useful with more heavy tracks forecast in Sydney for the Championships. If you are interest just click on Is Favourite-Longshot Bias Dead and follow the prompts. It's all FREE ! I have now uploaded race results from yesterday (Saturday 25th Match) plus I have extended the results back to the start of 2013. That's now OVER A MILLION horse race records that can be queried in the twinkling of an eye. I tell you what . Microsoft's Power BI application is a game changer for ANY business . not just Horse Racing.

Hi All, Just to let you know that I'm now updating the EPI race results on a weekly basis so that yesterday's Saturday races (11 March 2017) are there now. Also for those that are interested I have just posed the question on my website . is Favourite-Longshot Bias dead ?

Cheers, AN ---------------------------------------------------------- What started as a request from an Ausrace member to access Australian race results has now expanded into far more than what I thought was possible to deliver via the internet. What does Extreme Punter Intelligence (E.P.I.) provide ? * You can get results of all Australasian races run since January 2016 ... more than 233,000 horse race runs covering over 23,000 races ... involving 38,000 horses. * You can select results for a particular group of races ... or all runs for a specific horse .. or all rides for a particular jockey ... or any jockey / trainer combination. * You can compare the performance of an infinite number of system scenarios by using measures such as Strike Rate and the powerful A2E statistic. * You can export the results of any query into a CSV file. And due to the power of Microsoft's hosting of their Power BI application online (it's the BEST thing that Microsoft have ever done) a typical E.P.I query only takes a few seconds ... amazing when you consider there are over 235,000 race result records ! To access E.P.I you need to be a registered Member . but its FREE to join ... click here to either register or login. Oh and can you please use AUSRACE as the Member Group when registering.
