[AusRace] I doubt even Tony Moffat has come across these systems:

[L.B.Loveday]

Came across Scott Williams' book "Can Punting Pay" while shuffling through books, "a result of almost two years full time academic research", which I bought maybe 40 years ago, and which I'm pretty sure I never read much of.

 

Under the heading "Biocycles":

 

"Patrick Evans, an expert in the fledging science of biodynamics has suggested that horses are susceptible to cyclical "off" days", in accordance with the number of days from their birth date.

 

Sceptical? "He has surprised some hard headed gamblers in the UK by correctly predicting favourites that would not win because the race day was an "off" day for that horse". 

 

But there's more: Walter Gor Old ("Sepharial") wrote "The Silver Key" which discussed "the influence of the planets on horses, partly by their names (which are converted to numbers related to the planets and partly by the jockey's colours". There are 3 pages of tables detailing the nitty gritty of arriving at selections.

 

And yet more: a table of "Recommended Bets (Based on Numerology)" with the only input required the number of runners.

 

No wonder I never read much of it!
