Well of course you can dig much deeper and review each individual track, trainer, jockey, going, etc, but that wasn't the point of the article, which was to pinpoint particular areas to research in. Just looking at the last tables you can see that looking for a win system using Mares at -11% ROI is a waste of time, unless you are going to go really indepth. Whereas researching further Selling races at 5.2% ROI is well worth looking at.

But, if you run all those at +1% ROI together, it shows long term profits. Yes you can then add extra filters to improve profits, but the article would have gone on a lot longer
