HUNCH BACKERS
How much of a role does intuition play in being a winner at the races? How far can we go in relying on hunches and guesswork? These are questions often asked when racing is discussed.
I am a firm believer in form study, and the application of form basics to selection approaches, or systems if you like. But I reserve the right to use my intuition when I think the occasion demands!

How clever was the mighty punter Pittsburgh Phil?
OLD-TIME MAGIC!
We read a lot about Pittsburgh Phil and how he made a fortune from betting in the good old days. And wise bettors talk constantly about Phil's genius in money management. They point to him as the beacon on the hill for the average Joe Blow punter seeking reward for his endeavours.But what do we really know about the legendary Pittsburgh Phil, and was he really as clever as his supporters paint him? Well, let me begin by saying that YES, HE WAS CLEVER. Any man who more than a century ago could begin with nothing and die with a fortune estimated at $2 million must have been doing something right.
