Thanks Systems,
That would have been nice. I’m convinced that there is some mileage in the exacta and trifecta bets for trends followers. I’ve had a few nice returns and a couple of very near misses which I dread to think how much they might have returned.
The premis is that if we are narrowing the field down to a select band of possibles then quite often those possibles will fill the first two places and occasionally the first three.
At the kind of returns you have highlighted above even a very small outlay would have meant a tidy return.

My comment on the eve of the 2008 Grand National on ‘where is the money going’ (taking a look at Oddschecker.com)?

“This is where you will find the WINNER of the GN 2008!
Comply Or Die 6/20 No Negatives
Simon 9/20 (2 negatives)
Bewleys Berry 10/20(1 negative)
Butlers Cabin 7/20 (4 negatives)
Hedgehunter 11/20 (sentimental money! 3 negatives)
King Johns Castle 10/20 (3 negatives)
Snowy Morning 7/10 (4 negatives)
D’Argent 5/10 (5 negatives – market cnfused))
Dun Doire 3/10 (9 negatives! Confused market again))

The top 7 postives with 7 to 11 also contained 1, 2 and 3rd.
1st
2nd
3rd
and look what we all missed, Trifecta £18020.60 for a £1 stake.

Pity I wasnt brave enougth to have a go but worth remembering for 2009 (however you only need one long shot in the fisrt 3 home to blow any chance)!
