A Simple Plan

As we know from the movie, simple plans can also have their potholes. However, this is one of the easiest half-minutes I know of and it's sometimes amazingly effective.

Take Flemington on New Year's Day. Three races exceed $100,000 in prizemoney. The others all come in at $75K or less.

Randwick has six at $40K and two at $100K and $101K respectively.

The Gold Coast has one at $100K and all others struggle to get serious.

Perth hosts its Cup. One at $40, six at 50K, one at $101K and the Cup at $424,000.

Suddenly instead of about three dozen races we have reduced the survey to eight.

Assumedly the class is in those eight. If you like class above the other, there's your thirty seconds well spent.

It isn't perfect, but it's often a great start if you want to do a "stage one cull".
