The Cambridge Target System 30/05/08

I wasn’t around on Friday, so this morning I had to go through the painstaking task of comparing the forecasts with the liveshows from the Sporting Life to get a breakdown of the selections from yesterday. It wasn’t exactly an inspiring day, but something I did notice was that the percentage of runners that made the frame, often just getting beaten at decent prices, was huge.

Here are the stats:

26 races
6 winning races (23%)
12 placed without winning (46%)
18 either won or placed (69%)

And here are the runners that made the frame without winning:

Yor 3.20 2nd at 13/2 (beaten a short-head)
Yor 3.55 2nd at 5/2 (beaten a neck)
Goo 4.45 2nd at 15/8 (beaten 1/2 length)
Bri 4.55 2nd at 13/8 (beaten 1/2 length)
Yor 5.05 3rd at 7/4
Goo 5.15 2nd at 5/2 (beaten a neck)
Bri 5.25 3rd at 7/2
Mus 7.20 2nd at 7/2
Hay 7.40 2nd at 4/1
Mus 7.50 2nd at 8/1
Tow 9.00 2nd at 3/1 and 3rd at 10/1
Mus 9.20 3rd at 5/4

An extreme case of “seconditis” there!

I don’t know if the trend of such a high number making the frame will continue, but it’s certainly been evident (in a BIG way!) this week, so it could be worth watching.
