Please see below for our #BlackBook runner comments for Tuesday, 13 December 2022. All #BlackBook runners come from our weekly reviews and our split into two categories - these are are summarised in our "BlackBook Runners - Summary" with our confidence and thoughts. We have also included some runners in our "BlackBook Runners - Watchlist" that are those worth keeping in mind if you're playing the race. For information on our staking, see here.
MORNINGTON - Race 4
OTHER
#1 FROSTWOOD was purchased for $25k at the Inglis Online Sales despite being a 4yo gelding that’s an 8-start maiden. In his first jump out for the new Gareth Andrews stable, the big grey bolted in Heat 1 on Dec 5 over the 800m as he clocked the clear fastest time of the morning. Have to keep an eye on this son of Frosted, nice jump out.
Ricardo Meunier picked up #6 ROCK MELODY for only $2,250 on the Inglis April (Late) Online Sale and that might have been a bargain… the 4yo mare taking out Heat 4 on Nov 15 in the fastest 750m time of the morning. She was put under pressure at the top of the straight where she responded, before then being put away for the final 200m where the rest of the field made some ground. She’s had 4x placings in 4x career starts too so she’s clearly got enough talent to go well in a maiden but will just need to see where she pops up before seeing if she’s a bet or not.
We were on #7 BEL THRONUM on debut where she was smashed into a $2 SP favourite but finished 8th of 9 (albeit only 3L behind the winner) having pulled up blowing heavily with an irregular heart rhythm detected, so it’s a clear forgive run. She had jumped out super prior to this run and was very well fancied in the market, she is clearly better than that performance. She was back at the jump outs to get a clearance to run, winning Heat 6 on Nov 30 over 900m as she was pushed out past the line to really get her going in a nice bit of work. Follow her second up, she’ll run a much better race.

STAKING
We know that everyone takes a different approach to their staking, which is why we don't delve into specific staking for each of our runners and we leave how you stake and bet our runners completely up to the individual.
Personally, we have followed different staking systems over the years to fine tune our own punting, but have found that the most profitable approach is to follow a "Collect system".
This system means that the punter (us) bets on the win only (no place bet) to collect 4% of our bank on every BlackBook runner we have. To begin, you need to select a starting bank - as an example, a starting bank of $10,000 will see us betting to collect $400 (4%) on each runner.
If a runner is $2, we will bet $200 @2 to collect $400.
If a runner is $20, we will bet $20 @20 to collect $400.
If a runner is $3.50, we will bet ~$114 @3.50 to collect ~$400.
We highly recommend having a read of the below PDF document from Dan O'Sullivan in regard to the Six Rules to Increase Profit, Staking like a Professional and Punting As An Investment (see here):
