Dry Tracks and shorter distances (< 1700m).
- This is our sweet spot with consistent profits even through bad runs.
- In this range, the $50 bets are punching above their weight.

Wet Tracks (6-10) and longer distances (>= 1700m).
- This is the clear weak link. Low strike rates (22.9% overall) and low average winning odds ($3.45).
- 8% LOSS for the win and 15.6% LOSS for the place (only 50% pace-getters).
- Fortunately, these bets only account for 5% of all bets.

There are many other variables to be considered so it’s early days with the bet scale review. We just wanted to share with interested members the data that we are considering so far.

Many members do this research themselves and already have personal parameters in place.

We have added a column (Column AS) to your members spreadsheet that lists the going/dist for you.
