1. Use your commonsense and win more! to succeed at the horses you need to put the effort in. By doing the ground work, including a sound selection process and smart backing of your selection you can dramatically increase your odds of winning and don't we love that winning feeling! If your lucky enough to have the time and motivation to do your own analysis and build a solid knowledge of the runners, their like and dislikes, the handicapping process, view video re-runs of races, time trials and photos, then I envy you. There never seems to be enough time to fully analysis a runners potential. I guess that is why so many of us stick to one system or another, here are a couple of systems that I have had success with.

• I find the favourites regularly come in under the following conditions. A class one field, a sprint distance and a fast track. I've won more than I have lost backing favourites in this situation and its good for the straight bet.

• Secondly the trifecta bet, (selecting first second and third in a race) Do some research into the race and select two horses with a good chance but excluding the favorite. Select these two horses for first, for second place add the favorite to these two, giving you three selections for second, and select the field for third. This will vary in total cost depending on the size of the field and the value of your bet.
