Not sure how others feel
Mac,I'm not sure what method you use to arrive at your bbbb but my advice would be to narrow it down
An ideal black book would be one that I can bank on making money,not necessarily a win
I have not been following your posts here but they are too many to ensure success
No hard feelings but its what I feel

Its consolidated from as much media as possible eg the Sporting Post, Winning Ways, Winning Form, RacingSA, clansmen like you and me from ABC, etc, etc. Any verified racing superlative, that I have picked up, that is given to a winning horse may be noted. Amazingly, the list is constant at about 135 horses after adding-in and weeding-out. I do however give a losing "little black book" runner at least another chance before weeding him out. I just thought I would post as I do the process anyway as it is one of the several meaningful variables that is crunched into my total probability mix.

OK Mac,I don't have one but if I did it would be based on a tried and tested pattern or maybe something you see in a race
It would not be horses Joe public thinks highly of but rather one that's arrived at "deviously"

Most of the entries here have high merit ratings which ultimately offers less value
