A couple of places at Gowran Park yesterday including an enhanced one and a few near misses where we just missed an enhanced place. I think it's going to be very important though in the coming days to do a dedicated piece about "punter mentality and psychology" linked to the Betting Bank piece as we change direction, in fact back somewhat to our roots of seeking big priced value and having the ethos "if we can't win don't lose" by generating net profit from big priced place horses. It's easy to be positive about a 25/1 - 33/1 placed horse at any time, but if its the sole or joint selection in a race that positivity is allied to net profit, if it's one of 3 or 4 or 5 selections (which is where we drifted to) it may look great but it actually is wasted as if others don't place we make a net loss! So losing runs in terms of runs since a winner may be longer but if we have a discipline then we can overall make far greater net profit. There is the added bonus of having more races to attack for value, than just one or two with 16 runners fields as has unfortunately become the norm.

 

Today for example we attack a few 10-12 runner races with one selection but we're confident that the selection is absolutely the best each way value in that race.
