[AusRace] Barrier Blast - a system

[Tony Moffat]

Barrier Blast 2 (II)

This one was sold by a magazine not related to racing, but tools!

The first version selected the barrier position differently, and used a
different dividend call($5) but version 2 (II) divides the maximum barrier
position by 2,  then takes the whole number bigger- so 13 divided by two =
6.5 scaled up to 7. So barrier 7 is your starting point and $7 is the
minimum dividend call.

(i)First, come inwards from 7 towards the rail and pick the runner(s) paying
less than $7.

(ii)Next, go wide from 7, including 7 and pick the runner(s) paying less
than $7.

That's it, the selection rules in their entirety. 
The authors advise that runners in the mid field are less pressured to find
their place in the running thus tend to reserve their energy. There is a
discussion regarding centrifugal force causing runners to rub (run?) into
each other on a turn, causing impedance. There is also a discussion about
the 'crowding' which occurs, always from the right, the outside in both
directions.

There is a table that modifies the selection a little when racing on
clockwise turns and another that deducts a value when the running is
anti-clockwise, it is +1 and -1 for the scientific bent amongst us.

The (II) version modifies the rules a little, also again, when the middle
barrier number decision becomes the minimum dividend call. We had been using
$5, then $7.00, and now it is the barrier number converted to $dividend. An
18 runner field would have 9 as the middle barrier and $9 as the minimum
dividend call. This is the method I used in the results.

Selection ties are decided by (a) choosing the runner closest to the middle
barrier, or (b) boxing all selections in a quinella.
