STARSTATZ RACING 19 DECEMBER 2010

GoogleWith the last day of racing to go Racing Guide chalked up 3 wins to go on 253 wins while Starstatz Racing chalked up a single win to be on 235 wins

I earnestly hope for the sake of racing and the survival of the tabloid Vixtory Trail that they do something vigorous and change the menu on offer for next season. If they continue on their present course without any significant change for next season then I believe they will remain a distant 3rd both in terms of sales and tipping performance in relation to Racing Guide and Punters Way. Unlike most SPH ventures they will continue to bleed red ink for a long time before they can turn the corner(if ever at all). The people in charge should pause and take a deep breath and review the results so far. If sales are flat it is obvious something needs to be done to change the tide. In general I would give this advice to race publications it is not good enough to fill in with a journalist who writes good articles but seconded from other sports like soccer to write in depth articles on Cup races. In general they should improve their existing standards by hiring horse racing experts either in handicapping or assessing condition of horses in track reports. The publications are short changing the race goer by bringing in sub standard work with strike rates as bad as the average race goer with scores of less than 20% over the season. If the scores of these journalists are not tracked I pose the question ...where is the credibility and accountability to the reader? For next season I urge the STC to set an example by making a tally on the strike rate of all their presenters and journalists including the articles on the advertorials in the Srtaits Times. With no tracking of strike rates mediocrity and complacency will set in and they will not take pride in their work.

Racing Guide have done well (not just their strike rates) in their innovations over the past season and I urge Punters Way and Victory Trail to follow their lead and introduce new information and data for the benefit of the readers and not do what they have been doing for the past 5 seasons with no improvements at all.

I also strongly urge the STC computer data team to use this 2 week December break to set their house in order by getting all the missing weight data and missing sectional times corrected. It is embarassing that Racing Guide and Punters Way can get it right but the official source has missing weight data of recent races within less than 3 months!

With exotic bet investments in 9 races including 7 joker bets I managed to strike 1 trio of $8 one tierce in Race 2 at$27, one tierce in Race 4 at $3895 and one tierce in Race 6 at $830 and one quartet in Race 2 at $68. We spent a total of $220 on trio , $680 on tierce and $2040 on quartets. We actually bagged a quartet of $7325 in Race 6 if we had played one banker box with 6 selections but we taggged it a joker exotics bet thus leaving the 4th horse out of the equation so it was not counted in my tally .Nevertheless we managed a return of $4828 from an investment of $2940 this howing a nett profit for the day of $1888. Our overall nett profit now stands at a respectable $10783

Should be there any query on the scores tabulated do drop me an email at insiders111@yahoo.com.sg

Generally it has been a mediocre season for Starstatz Racing and we look forward to new challenges next season. The only highlights were our top media tipster performance of 9 winners in a day in a card of 12 races which we shared the accolade with Michael Maxworthy and our record breaking Quartet albeit with the advantage of 3 additional picks but we did make it an official bet by officially investing $240 which could have shown an embarrassing loss for us..

We urge the organisers of the Winner21 challenge to change the format to dividend based next year as a more equitable contest for all concerned. Tipping is not all about tipping favourites only or outsiders only as a methodology but to decide on the merits of each indvidual race. We have shown our versatility and relative consistency despite having a below par season but we still ended up a strong 2nd despite trailing in Racing Guide's slipstream. We will learn from our mistakes and hope to give Racing Guide a good run for their money and look forward to matching my wits with the new kid on the block and test their tipping mettle. I do hope they take part in the Winner21 challenge as well as the STC tipsters as I find it tedious tracking their scores and will have my hands full keeping track of my exotic bet plays. Who knows I may introduce a new feature called “BAGMAN'S DEAD DUCKS' AND PIN POINT OVERHYPED WEAK FAVOURITES. the blog for Race 1 were posted before the start of Race 1 and the rest were posted before the start of Race 2. and we managed a flying start with the winning selection. i SHALL ONLY BE BETTING BIG TRIO/BIG TIERCE/BIG QUARTET BETS TODAY. jOKER BET SHALL APPLY USING 2 BANKERS AND DROPPING THE 7TH SELECTION.

STARSTATZ RACING 10 DECEMBER 2010

After removing the cloak of anonymity from the flame throwers plus my outstanding profits on my tierce/quartet investments ...The current matinee show currently playing on Starstatz Racing is called "Silence of the lambs"...as the flamers have suddenly lost their voices in harmony singing the same tune. I am not blocking them entirely from commenting. The only difference is that they have to register before they can comment.

My bold experiment with official exotic bets had a lucky break and on 05 December we added 3 tierce/ quartet of $218/$1003 in Race 3, $71/$576 in Race 9 and $493/$1575 in Race 10.in additiuon to the record breaking $16727 quartet.

on 03 December. The nett profit on 03 December was $15925 and on 05 December it was $2795. The grand total to date is now a nett profit of $17,786

Inspired by the good start I will now modify my bets into standard medium trio for all races with 4 horses box for a budget of $12. Big trio will consist of 5 horses box for a budget of $20. This shall apply to all races as a standard bet.

The next bet will now be test tierce and test quartet with 1 banker and 3 horse box ie 1/2-3-4/2-3-4 for tierce at a budget of $12 and 1/2-3-4/2-3-4/ 2-3-4 for a budget of $24. The profits from the previous small bets will credited into this bet type as reference benchmark

The new medium tierce will be 1 x 4 x 7 ($48)and big tierce will be as previously 1 x 6 x 6($60)

The new small budget quartet will be 1 x4 x4 x4 for a budget of $48

A new category called moderate quartet with combination of 1 x 5 x 5 x5 with a budget of $120 will be created

The medium budget will now be modified with a new combination of 1 x 4 x 6 x 6 with a budget of $160

The big budget quartet will remain the same as 1 x 6 x 6 x6 with a budget of $240.

For next week I will possibly introduce joker bets with 2 bankers. It should be noted that if I was to manage a Horse racing R.E.I.T or horse investment consultancy I will not be indulging in all these bet types. I will probably invest in one big tierce and one bu=ig quartet with an additional bet in confident races tagged big/invest with one additional bet type in quartet /tierce categories. The format of betting will remain the same as last week ...NO BETS WILL BE PLACED ON RACES TAGGED SMALL IN CONFIDENCE.

I am fairly confident of my top 2 selections for today. My selections for today are :-

RACE 1 MEDIUM... 2/4-3-1-6-5-9

RACE 2 BIG ....9/2-5-4-8-1-6 ...BEST BET OF THE NIGHT...INVEST BET

RACE 3 MEDIUM...2/1-11-5-12-4-8

RACE 4 MEDIUM...8/2-5-10-6-3-9...INVEST BET

RACE 5 MEDIUM...12/2-3-6-5-9-10...VAL BET...BEST WILD LONGSHOT OF THE NIGHT

RACE 6 SMALL...5/9-6-3-10-2-8...MOST OPEN RACE OF THE DAY

RACE 7 MEDIUM... 7/6-8-3-9-5-2...INVEST BET

RACE 8 BIG...1/3-5-12-11-10-6...INVEST BET....PLEASE NOT WITH THE SCRATCHING OF DITTATORE THE THREAT TO MR RAFFLES IS NOW MINIMAL...HENCE THE UPGRADE TO BIG BET...NOTE CHANGE IN ORDER FROM SINGAPORE NAP ON THE 7NAPS WEBSITE

RACE 9 BIG....1/5-4-3-11-8-2...INVEST BET...I WAS THINKING OF INVOKING THE DOUBLE BET bUT i CHANGED MY MINE DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS BUT IT WOULD HAVE AMOUNTED TO USING 2 BANKERS 1-5#--1-5-4-3-11-8 FOR THE SAME BUDGET OF $240 BY DROPPING THE 7TH HORSE 2 FROM THE EQUATION . LETS SEE IF i HAVE CAUSE FOR REGRET AFTER THE RESULTS ARE KNOWN! AS 1 AND 5 BELONG TO THE SAME TRAINER AND 5 WILL LEAD EARLY AND 1 MAY JUST FAIL TO CATCH HIM AS AN EXCUSE...LET'S SEE

STARSTATZ RACING 05 DECEMBER 2010

GoogleBREAKING NEWS ! STARSTATZ RACING has officially scored a record braking Tierce /Quartet of $1458($60 official investment) and $16727($240 official investment with Better Be The One as banker and Future Baby,Northern Lion and Tuxedo Moon making the top 4)in Race 5 (on 03 December 2010. My small budget of $24 and medium budget of $80 failed to score. The fact is the I officially chose to invest in a total; of 8 races and lost in all the races but still showed an overall profit. My 7 selections have stirred a lot of controversy and its fair share of detractors. Of course I have an unfair advantage over the standard 4 selection format and lazy publications still stubbornly sticking to the 3 selection format. My point is that whether you use 5 , 6 or 7 selections(according to your budget) is that playing with only 4 selections leaves the player with no room for error. With at least 5 selections you can still strike the exotics even if one of your selections fails or decides to take a day off for political long term strategic reasons. To prove it was not a fluke is that in season 2009 I set a record breaking Quartet of $25870 and included a bonus of a $3510 tierce. The only difference is that this time it was an official bet but previously it was only a claim that was struck with Big Momoko winning on 21 August 2009 using Big Momoko as banker and using a box on the remaining 6 horses that included Palmston, Sacred and Shen Wong with a budget of $240. My claim to fame was that it was in an email sent to all the senior STC officials and a representative from each official race publication and the Press before the start of Races. This time it is record on my blog at www.starstazracing.blogspot.comand can be verified through my blog archive.

My official investment for tierce(based on 1 banker box with remaining 6 selections ie 1#2-32-4-5-6-7) is $60 x 7 races plus $40 (9 was a late scratching in Race 1)for a total investment of $460. Returns : $1458 . Nett Profit is $999

My official small bet quartet(based on 1 banker box with the next 3 horses ie 1#2-3-4) at $24 per race x 8 races had nil returns for a nett loss of $192. please note if there is a late scratching on the banker than the bet is declared null and void. However if there is a late scratching for one of the remaining horses that the order would move up and the missing horse will be replaced by the next horse in order

My official medium quartet(based on 1 banker with 2 key horses on the 2nd line and the remaining 6 horses other than the banker will be placed on the 3rd and 4th lines ie 1#2-3/2-3-4-5-6-7/2-3-4-5-6-7) of $80 per race x 7 races plus $48(9 was a late scratching in Race 1) had nil returns. My nett loss is $608

My official big bet for quartet was(based on 1 banker box with remaining 6 horses ie 1#2-3-4-5-6-7) of $240 per race X 7 races plus $120(9 was a late scratching in race 1) for a total investment of $1800.Returns : $16727.nett Profit is $14927.

I got off to a flying start and had a couple of near misses that did not count officially but I hope the readers had benefited with good returns on their individual investments on tierce/trio albeit on a more modest budget. For the transparency of profit or loss I will continue to tally only the official bets in each category with a grand total of profit or loss on all bets. My official nett profit is a healthy $15126. This official score I trust will be my best answer to detractors who poured scorn and cold water on my 7 selections and and liken it to BIG SWEEP NUMBERS. I have never suggested to my readers to play 7 numbers box for an outlay of $1680 but I have always emphasised that my tally previously was based on one banker with a box on the remaining 6 selections and to play according to your budget to use 4 (not recommended) ,5 , 6 or 7 selections. Only now I am demarcating the bets officially and tracking the tally to see if I can show a profit.

The purpose of this exercise is to show that our smart investments with diligent research and superior methodologies is a much better way to invest than lucky numbers which seem lucky only after results are known or based on favourite colour of jockey silks. In time when the racing market matures I hope the Government will allow the introduction of licensed Horse Racing Reit or Horse Racing Investment Club for members only to make investments guided by a Mentor or Guru or experienced Horse racing Consultant much like the Property Reit in the Housing Market. Of course strict s=conditions have to be applied with high paid up capital and certain trading limits per race and per day basis

Just a note on close misses that did not count...in Race 1 my 1^st selection flopped but my 2^nd selection won...if I had put my 2^nd selectionas as my 1^st pick I would have bagged the tierce of $153 and quartet of $5176 and in Race 8 My top 3 made the tierce of $1143 but it did not score as it was in the wrong order(a $12 box tierce would have made the order irrelevant) as it is only counted if my banker wins. Although these are misses I am trying to make a point... a selection made by a exotic bet specialist backed by good research and sound methodoolgies like use of handicap data, pace of race analysis, bloodstock analysis and to a lesser extent speed figure analysis is much better than picking lucky numbers of favourite colours of jockey silks

Some publications are still stubbornly sticking to the practice of 3 horse selection per race for all their tipsters and providing Quartet advice of 4 selections from only one tipster. Are they suffering from space constraints? I think not! The New Paper used to do 3 selections but revamped and improved it to a 4 horse selection this year. I hope the rest of the publications follow this example and move on instead of dwelling on out of date practices to cater for the greater good and interests of their readers! How on earth are you going to strike a Quartet with only 3 selection? Are these publications catering to the whims and idiosyncrasies and fancies of the individual editors despite feedback from the public and this column in particular?. Are these publications not supposed to help the reader towards a winning day at the races. Since STC has offered the quartet bet shouldn't they are least offer a minimum of 4 selections?. How is the standard of local racing going to improve if this state of affairs continues unchecked. The Vice Presidents in charge of these editors are just as culpable for allowing these editors so much power that they continue running it like a fiefdom.

With 5 race days to go , Racing Guide scored 2 wins and Starstatz Racing scored 1 win and the battle for top internet/print media tipster is all over bar the shouting. Only the winner21 challenge will go to the wire. The leader board now reads Racing Guide on 244 wins, Starstatz Racing on 228 wins and Xiu Fang is 3^rd on 216 wins...the current leader in the Winner21 Challenge.

I had 5 invest bets that failed for a nett loss of $25 My total invest bet loss is now at $131 ($534 from $665 investment) or R.O.I of 0.80. I had one win from my single VAL-bet at $23 for a nett profit of $18 . It was the 2^st time my VAL -bets showed a profit My return is $72 from 45 bets or investment of $225 or R.O.I. of 0.32

There was an invest bet on Singapore Nap that failed and the tally is now at minus 2.4 or $103 returns from an outlay of $115 and the . Singapore Nap VAL-BET remains at nil returns from 3 bets.or minus 3.

In previous posts up to November the clock on this blog was set on minus 8 hours G.M.T time. From 03 December I have reset the computer clock based on Plus 8 hours GMT time. My basic computer knowledge is poor so I hope the readers will forgive me for this oversight and I do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

For a consultancy fee I am willing to teach my members the theories on compilation of handicap data and will be willing to share this data and provide advice on race days for a fee to be agreed upon. Other subjects include how to do a simple Speed Map, how to compile speed figures, where to research for bloodstock analysis, Where to get information on how to see condition of horses in the paddock, the compilation of sectional times based on the 1st 400M and the last 400M, how to compile form reports without hiring a professional track watcher. Trainer patterns eg Marcus Basil to date has not prepared any of his horses to win 1st up while Freedman has done it quite often as seen in the Race 5 example on 03 December with "Better Be The One " who I believe will win a Cup race soon provided he does not meet Better Than Ever and Rocket Man on WFA terms. He can win a Cup race if the handicap terms are favourable or when these 2 are overseas and not earmarked for the same races. He is by the Golden Slipper Sire" More Than Ready"(whose progeny have continued to dominate the Golden Slipper races in recent years) and will adapt easily to the turf as well and should be useful as a Sprinter over the short sprints and he has the speedy Snippets(sire of Pins and Grandsire of Waikato). His personal record has not reflected it but given time he may extend up to 1400M and possibly 1600M given his Southern Halo Grandsire bloodline. As a 4 Year Old he may eventually grow to give Rocket Man a run for his money in the Kris Flyer Sprint next year and vie with Rocket Man for best local horse in this event.

Only the races tagged medium or big will count towards my exotic bet tally in the 4 categories of tierce bet, small quartet bet, medium quartet bet and big quartet as described above. If there is further rain watch for the on pace / front running track bias . However if the weatherman is spot on there will be no rain today. Observe the early races for any detectable track bias especially in slow pace races. The pace factor was crucial in Race 7 on 03 December won by Escamonda and the 2 sole front runners(the other was Superb) made the forecast combination for that race and poor Rosie aka New Rose Wood got going too late when the die was cast and only did her best work when the outcome was settled. Well we can't win them all! I can only console myself with this official tally of this theoretical exotic bet. If the rain stays away as expected do increase your bets if you are showing a profit as this will be a good day for serious horse investments

STARSTATZ RACING 03 DECEMBER 2010

Google

I have received some flak from my detractors like Desmond Tang , the Poly Lecturer and Horses'Mouth aka MR Zhong aka from a racing publication(but too terrified to reveal which one) regarding my use of 7 horses.

Let me recap :- only the 1st pick is used for the internet/print media challenge unless there is a scratching then the 2nd pick will count towards the tally. For the record Racing Guide is on 242 wins and Starstatz Racing is in a comfortable 2nd position with 227 and Xiu Fang is in 216 and supposedly Premier publication is on 203 wins a good 24 wins behind my after burner.I have been labelled nowhere compared to the other publications but save for Racing Guide I have asked them repeatedly what is their yardstick of measurement and they cannot give me a decent reply.

To address this particular issue of 7 selections despite my repeated explainations which my detractors are still unwilling to accept. My reason is that you cannot attack a quartet with 3 selections which some Mandarin papers are still

adamant on sticking to despite my feedback. My question ...how can a reader strike a quartet with only 3 selections? Even with 4 selections I find it very difficult as it means there is no room for error and despite making only one mistake my chance of striking the quartet is gone. Hence my introducation of 7 selections :- always using the 1st pick as the banker and the rest according to your budget as a guidance. I sincerely believe that these detractors with their so called lucky numbers are always lucky after the results are known and never before the race starts. These selections are meant for the rookie horseplayer to follow blindly of for the experienced to make last minute adjustments due to state of track, scratchings or last minute severe drop or increase in horse body weight. The home work is already done for you eliminating the horses whose pedigree is unsuited for the race distance or because the horse has a poor handicap rating etc.

For the remaining 6 race days for the season I shall indulge in calculating whether my 7 selections make money or not using this format for assessment. I shall place a standard bet on races tagged medium or big in confidence and skip races marked small in confidence. I shall use for tierce the 1st pick as banker with a box on the remaining horses (in the event of scratching of my banker the bet is declared void but in the event of a scratching on the remaining horses the bet will be adjusted and calculated accordingly) ie the tierce bet will be 1#2-3-4-5-6-7 for a standard budget of $60. For the quartet i will have a standard small budget of $24 for 1#2-3-4 ,a medium budget of $80 for 1/2-3/2-3-4-5-6-7/2-3-4-5-6-7(ie my 2nd and 3rd picks will always be my key horses on the 2nd line) and a big budget of $240 for 1#2-3-4-5-6-7 . Of course i do not expect my readers to always follow so rigidly if they have the benefit of last minute data and they have the experience to amend slightly according to their respective individual budgets . Sometimes we will strike the tierce but the dividend may turn out to be less than $60 but it does happen and it comes with the territory.

I believe tonight will see mostly 1st favourites and 2nd favourites with only the odd longshot surprising . The pace of the race will be a strong deciding factor today with the rain helping front runners and on pace runners except in fast pace races. My selections are:-

RACE 1 MEDIUM...8/2-3/11-9-4-5...INVEST BET...PACE VERY FAST

RACE 2 medium....2/3-11/ 6-10-8-1 ...INVEST BET...PACE SLOW

RACE 3 small...4/6-9/ 58-1-11...PACE VERY FAST
