[AusRace] Atomic Barriers - a system (Post Position Positives)

[Tony Moffat]

I paid a dollar for this - and I think I was diddled.

 You had to send the money, a note in '68,  with a stamped self-addressed
envelope to an address in Wollongong and wait for the postie. 
It is a printed book, not Xerox'd like so many, with rusty staples now and a
geometric pattern on the cover.

There is a lot of reading within, a lot of wisdom, and s/he reverts to
calling them barriers in the text. The system is meant to be used on
metropolitan courses only, as was the mantra often from way back, but some
of the results have Hawkesbury and Newcastle .

The system is to watch and observe and record the first three races to
determine where the winners are 'arriving' from, wide or railing, then
determine your bets on the remaining races from this information.

It is needlessly complicated, somewhat, and a review of these, from then,
shows that this was the 'big' secret, this complication, this new
information, this weapon to beat the enemy, the bookmaker.

So you have complied with the first rule, stood out and observed and now
noted that ' a railer' figured in the first, and outside 9 appeared in the
second. All that remains is to record the starting barrier of the next
winner, TAB 2 or 1 against TAB 6 and 10. Seeing that 6 is Greg Ryan you are
sure to get a run and a bit and 10 is the nicely named Mozart's Work.
Waiting, watching, wondering.

6 won and this sets the course for the days punting, it seems, the 9 and
outside brigade, with a qualifying rule, senior riders otherwise take one or
other of the two railers (barriers 1 or 2 it means) with a senior jockey.
You can apply another tentative rule, less than 20/1 ($21?).

There is a page to show you how to choose the runners. Count the entrants
and record the number. In the last race this is 10.
Railers are calculated from 10, deduct the barrier number of each from this
- the least number(s) are the selections.
(I know, why not pick barrier 1 and two, but that wouldn't be a system would
it?)

There is  sheet in the book which shows you what to pick - 11 runners,
inside 1 and 2, outside 10 and 11 (yes, it says that)

Quirindi R4 8Our AnnaMaria and 9Wee Lassie (3rd)
Quirindi R5 5Kennywyn and 7Verna 
Quirindi R6  13Whisper DeLovely and Bel Diablo
Quiirindi  R7 San Francisco and Evangelist 
Quirindi R8  Mighty Like and Tully Ho

Complicated for credibility  do you think.

Now, if there was a system that required you to back Greg Ryan everywhere -
that might work.

Quirindi has memories for me. The best pies for starters
The golf course is great, treed but open if that makes sense and if you have
an affinity for finding trees on course
(as I do) well you will understand.
Over the road from the course is the rugby ground where I played twice, and
got injured as a school boy which closed
down the career of the boy who was going to be in the front row for
Australia, tight head too. It cost me a bursary/scholarship to
Waverley, a good,great rugby place.

Cheers

Tony
