Great thread! Hansend, it takes alot of guts to go public like that. I admire you for that.

I would like to know of those here that apply the 2 horses to win way of betting and keep records, what is your hit rate? I ask because Pizzolla has indicated that when he was in Pirco, he had a high hit rate (65%-70%) and was winning many races, but not money. I have not done any formal studies, but it seems to me that very short win prices and long win prices are more commonplace now than in the past.

If I ever write a book, I am going to entitle it...whatever happened to the $12 win horse?

My guess is if success is to be had betting two horses to win you must be very selective in your races wagered and have a very high hit rate or bet more races searching for value, expecting a lower winning percentage than what was talked about in the follow-ups. I look forward to any comments.
