Tricasts in Sprint Handicaps

[Blunkett]

I’ve been fiddling about following these over the last month or so, and the payouts are usually pretty generous even if fancied horses fill the places.

The only criteria that I have been placing on each race is that it must be 5 or 6 furlongs, and have at least 8 runners, and a maximum of 5 ‘lines’ per race.

All tricasts are a £1 stake.

Todays qualifying races:

Interesting stuff. I played around with reverse exactas in sprints and came to a similar conclusion. I’ll be interested to see how your approach pans out.

Good grief! Ghost of Christmas Past.

You’re right about restricting the number of lines. I had a couple where the first three in the betting were first three in the race, and I didn’t make any money on the race! (Not all to same stake.)
