Selection Hunter Working Example
In the video below we are going to dive straight in and create our first query. We are going to fetch all today’s selections that have a Racing Post Rating Rank of 1. This means that in their respective race they are the highest ranking horse using the Racing Post Ratings.
Now let’s add another query. All selections must also have an Official Rating Rank of 1. This means that in their respective race they are the highest ranking horse under the Official Ratings.
As we build our queries, we can by default back test over the last 6 months. Let’s see how our simple query would of performed over the last 6 months.
Queries are saved inside groups. In order to save our query let’s create a new group and save it for future use.
We can analyse the data in Selection Hunter to fine tune our queries and create profitable Selection Systems.
We can also export our query results straight into the main screen of TSM so that we can analyse the results in more detail.
Selection Hunter is also available in the TSMapp. (Online Version). All TSM subscribers have access to both TSM V8 Desktop (Windows) and TSMapp (Web Based).
The short below shows the TSMapp in action. Note – the visible working minimum CSS screen size for Selection Hunter in the TSMapp is 1100 x 630. This will rule out some devices such as mobile phones and smaller tablets.
