Hastings
Race 7
Chose this race for its’ endurance prospects. 2100mtrs.
My thinking was, the longer the race, the more tiring on the favourites to keep up a fast pace, thereby allowing slower horses with good endurance to come to the closing positions.
Tried my previous betting method utilising, 2 First fours, 4 trifectas.
Hence fourth, requiring five of the eight possible winning combinations.
Percentage stake for total bets = $28
Wouldn’t you know it?
One of the other three not used combinations came in.

Invercargill
Race 7
Utilising my ‘Keyed Trifecta with a Twist’ method, I upped my game by staking a First 4 bet. With the extra place I suppose it could be called ‘Keyed First 4 with a Twist Twist’.
This required two bets to cover the fourth position.
Not withstanding this, I Hedged my bet with four ‘Keyed Trifecta with a Twist’ bets.
The original field size being 13 runners.
1 scratched
3 chosen rejects
Field size now 9
Total cost using percentage betting $83
One reject placed third thereby destroying all bets.
Try one more, Harness race using my preferred staking method when I first started Betting.
$3 on the 1st Fav to win, paying $2.70
$10 on the 2nd Fav to place, paying $1.60
The 2nd Fav came in paying $16 for a $3 profit.
Te Aroha
Race 5
Done the Handicapping to make my selections using my “Keyed Trifecta with a Twist”.
Decided to utilise four of the 8 possible combinations (not revealing them here).
Using 5% wager on all four.
Due to work commitments, I was unable to place these bets.
Murphy’s Law being what it is, one of the combinations come in.
A long shot came first with none of the Bookies Favs in the top three placings.
Trifecta payed, $5,600
Wager covering all four combinations at 5%, $42
Winning combo would have payed, $280
Less initial wager, $42
Equals $238 profit.
30/1/21
Riccarton Park and Trentham
Started with $20 bankroll.
Too tight to load more to the account.
Used Percentage betting to string the Bankroll out.
Did not stick to my Trifecta Betting Strategy.
If I had the outcome would have been wonderful.
Account balance now Zero.
Race 5 Riccarton Park, An longshot paying $49 to win came home first resulting in a Trifecta payout of $16,857.
Even at a 10% wager I would have been very happy.
Another “DAMN” moment.
