I did some research on http://www.harness.org.au/results/in...rch_type=daily to really check this McCarthy "domination" that has "so many" owners trainers drivers strappers (Cassie!) terrified and it just goes to show, dont believe a "story" even one so passionately delivered by the storyteller until u check the facts and figures of what really is happening.
(i am currently on annual leave for another week, hence i have time to do this!!!)
I thought if the LM machine is so good, what if i backed all his horses, i'd b a millionaire!!!
Since October 1 i wrote down a $100 win bet on every LM horse.
Where he had 2 horses racing i chose to have $50 on the shortest price LM horse to win and $25 each way on the other horse.
Where he had 3 horses in the same race, i went same for fav, and $12.50EW for the others, so spending no more than 100 per race.
Well in October i lost $1,121.50
In November i lost $1,222.50
in December i WON $1,790
but am still DOWN $316 up till yesterday based on that example.
How come i'm not a millionaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REALITY CHECK NUMBER 2...
I looked at EVERY NSW Meeting in October.
There were 275 races in the state for all trainers to have a go at.
LM had horses in 53 races...thats about 19%
That means 81% of NSW races are LM FREE !!!!!!!
He won 24 races, thats 8.7% holy crap, there's a domination!!!
That means 91.3% of races were won by OTHER TRAINERS!!!!!!
He had 19 places = 6.9%
He RAN LAST 9 TIMES! And this is all only for OCTOBER.
Now to the paranoid, pass this around to your mates who are walking around trotting tracks shaking their heads and raising their eyebrows!
