Subject: [AusRace] Fitness requirement - a system named Finesse<br>
<br>
This is the third action in a suite of 5 rules of a system named 'Finesse'<br>
sold in Australia in the 70's.<br>
<br>
(a) for each 'entrant' find the date of its last spell<br>
(b) count the number of runs it has had since resuming from a spell<br>
(c) add 1 to the number ascertained - first up is 1, 2nd up is 2<br>
(d) sort the horses carrying over the average weight allocated to 'entrants'<br>
- (sum the weights then divide by number of runners) The selections (for<br>
further consideration) come from the top weights with the most runs after a<br>
spell The selections (for further consideration) come from the top weights<br>
showing as greater than 9/1 in the pre post (it says morning line)<br>
<br>
Selections are backed to PLACE only. Don't meddle with the rules, most races<br>
will not have a qualifier but over 3 years of record keeping, the system<br>
averaged 3 selections a week which were paying well.<br>
++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>
<br>
Typed that as shown on the piece of paper you spent $50 (+postage) to get.<br>
<br>
Using the 9/1 rule ($10) and in the top weights is speedier and you get a<br>
pick more often but the rules are linked viz most runs + >$10.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
