Rules:
1.
Concentrate only on handicaps for 3yos.
2.
In all such races, check to see if there is an outright
topweight (ignore any riding claims).
3.
If there is, bet it to win.
4.
If
there are joint topweights, there is no bet
for that particular race.
System applies to
UK Flat racing only (turf and all-weather).
Staking:
5
pts to win on each qualifier.
Logic:
There
have been several earlier system trials involving topweights
which have emerged with potential, including system trials 1, 4
(which also focused on 3yos) and, to an extent, 41.
This
trial ignores form figures completely, putting the emphasis
completely on the runners' current handicap marks.
3yos
at the top of the handicap are very often improving horses, in
contrast to older topweights who may be declining but who may
still top the weights based on what they did a long time ago,
and we have already
shown that the effect of weight is overstated in many cases.
