Second Favourite System and research shows that the second favourite in small fields will do well at certain times of the year.

Ignoring the first and last month of the flat season go through any newspaper and select all the races with between three and seven runners, once done then bet on the second favourites in doubles and trebles, and if there are enough races available, accumulators.

Qualifying races are not available everyday, but there are certain meetings at times of the year in particular when there are many races with the required number of runners on the same day and if this is the case, it might be profitable to, increase the number of bets and reduce the individual stakes.
