These combos are unfiltered (every race) — they lose, as expected. The profitable edge is the filtered combo set shown above (chase handicaps + small-field flat non-handicaps). Straight singles lose at SP too. This table is the honest full-coverage baseline.

Methodology

  • Combo edge is settled on real Tote Exacta/Trifecta dividends pulled from the Tote API, across 2,000+ races over both jumps and flat seasons — not an SP approximation.
  • We only bet the two segments that survive that test: chase handicaps and small-field (≤6 runner) flat non-handicaps. Hurdles, flat handicaps, large/tiny fields and short-priced favourites all lose and are dropped.
  • Yesterday by rank shows the straight win/EW result of the model's rank 1/2/3 picks for the latest settled day. Straight win betting is not the edge — it's shown for transparency.
  • Tricast P&L is heavy-tailed; size stakes for a multi-month dry spell.
