[AusRace] The Editors Method - a system

[Tony Moffat]

This one, and two variations, have been around for many years.

It seeks to improve the strike rate of a public selector - meaning a
newspaper tipster

The version 'Reckoner' sold in Melbourne claims that the elements under
consideration are those present in the past form of 99% of winners which is
another way

of saying they are present in the form of (almost) all runners, winners or
no.

 

The Editor featured here is one discussed in Racing Review Issue 562 by
Anthony Scott on November 9 1977 - his version is that of Edgar Horn (USA)
circa 1930 (as they say)


 

The runners to consider are those tipped by your choice of public selector. 

(a)    The runner must have raced on the track

(b)    The runner must have raced within the last 15 days

(c)    The runner must have finished within 5 lengths of the winner last
start (or won, of course)

(d)    The runner must have finished not further back than 4th last start
(including 4th, of course)

(e)    No maiden races for 3yo or older are to be considered

(f)     There is directions (rules) regarding changing conditions on race
day - the selections were made for a good track and the racing is now heavy
- no bets

(g)    Mr Scott added a rule of his own - the runner must have form at the
distance ( a start, a place, a win - in ascending power)

 

Some results from today
