Que a couple of 33/1 shots last year, western warhorse & very wood was another.
So, I'm going to track all those in first time head gear, lay out a hypothetical betting strategy for next week and see will it come out on top. The interesting thing here is I'll ignore all form, opinions, jockey, trainer, ground, price fluctuations, what way the wind is blowing etc and just put in a hypothetical betting strategy for the 4 days & see can it come out on top.
If a horse has "1" beside his or choice of head piece, then it will fall into my daft little experiment.
Headgear - b=blinkers,
v=visor, e/s = eyeshield,
h = hood, t = tongue-strap;
p = sheepskin cheekpieces.
