Rules:
1.
Concentrate only on races containing five runners or less.
2.
In such events, check for horses to have previously made
all the running to win a race under Rules in the same code as today's (Flat
or NH; ignore point-to-point races).
To
avoid confusion, the term 'made all' (or 'made virtually all')
in the Racing Post comments-in-running is the key factor,
unless it is otherwise obvious from the Racing Post commentary
that the horse led virtually from start to finish.
3.
Ignore any race in which there is more than one qualifier.
System
applies to all UK races (Flat and NH).
Staking:
5
pts to win on each qualifier.
Logic:
Races
with only a handful of runners often develop into tactical
affairs with a slow to moderate early pace.
In
such cases, the place to be is up at the front and many of
these races are stolen by prominently ridden horses who get
first run on their rivals.
When
only one of the field has ever made all before, there is a
fair chance of that runner enjoying the advantage of an
uncontested lead.
This
is a re-run of the successful System Trial 38 except that the
number of runners in a qualifying race is now reduced to five or
less in a bid to uncover potential front-runners with an even
better chance of enjoying an uncontested lead.
