David-1 Lay - A System

This system uses the UK Horse Racing ratings. The Summary ratings will suffice.

This is a very simple and profitable system. All one does is to find the Rating (left hand column) of the third rated horse and then subtract 10.0 from that horse's rating.

Then look down the list for any horses whose forecast SP is less than 10/1 and whose rating is less than this newly calculated number.

If there are more than one such selected horse then lay the bottom rated horse.

This system has a small number of selections a week but is profitable. If one wishes to, one could apply the IMK Filters (see the Members' Section) to this sytem. One of the only areas where this doesn't seem to work are Irish non-handicaps.

The David-1 Lays are a rather overlooked laying system, which is a shame really. But what has to be the best angle are the David-1 Lays when they are coupled with a TrForm 120 Trainer. In other words; when a poorly placed horse is saddled by an otherwise good trainer the World and Dog are on it to back, so the price is low and the risks are better.
