Smart Selections
Our gold membership offers a done for you service to help you with a lot of strategies. Listening to our members, we look for patterns in the data which you would like to use in your systems, and we create a Smart Selection for you. This means the system will automatically find horses which meet your strategy. So if you are looking for the top rated horses, one of our Smart Selections will show you those horses. If you are looking for a horse which is 25 points clear of the next best, then we’ll show you them all.
This is a time saver! We save you having to wade through all the cards to find the horses that meet the strategy you want to adopt!
Remember though:
The Smart Selections are NOT “tips”. They automatically filter ALL the data into the horses that meet set criteria – you can (and should) cast a human eye over them, apply common sense (they might be top rated for speed, but that means little on heavy going), and integrate them into your own betting strategy – applying your own staking plans, each-way or place betting, lay systems, etc.”
