    Lineform,<br>Hi,

    If you have a glance at Cormack’s daily score update you will notice that he does, in fact, record the losers per qualifiers for each contestant ……………. in the style of 1/6 or 0/9. This info is directly following the contestant’s name. And this is cumulatively adjusted each day.

    The minus-100% thing is an overall view — a snapshot if you like — and the most accurate assessment possible of each competitors in-running profitability (or lack of!). A negative 100% is effectively "nul pointe" but  there is no limit to a plus percentage ………….. LOOKINGFORAWINNER will probably be in the vicinity of 47,450% by the end of this fun exercise (judging by the way he is performing so far!!)

    Regards,<br>Hoof.

    That’s great, Seagull. Thanks for that.

    Actually, I’ve just noticed my original post did not make sense ……….. I wrote: "   – a trainer (who has not had a RUNNER at an A/W track"). Should of course had read "a Winner". Now edited.

    Thanks again.

    Hello Seagull,<br>May I ask a question please?

    Do you recommend that a trainer (who has not had a winner at an A/W track for six years) should have had a minimum number of runners in those years for that trainer to qualify ? I mean, I presume you would not consider a trainer who has had a strike-rate of, say, 0-3 over the six years. Am I correct?

    Thanks in advance.<br>
