I recently posted that I almost never bet maiden races, especially if there are first-timers in the race. The exception is if Rupert likes a first- or second-timer in a race. That by itself is enough for me to make a bet. I don't even look at the form. And I am someone who refuses to make a bet unless I have good reason to think I have an edge.
