13/05/2010 Deane Lester Tips

Deane Lester, one of Australia's most recognised professional horse racing tipsters, is slowly moving to the point where many punters think he deserves to be. The top of the table.

Lester's statistics certainly speak of someone who has mastered the art of horse selection with a win strike rate of 34% and a place strike rate of 58% since we started recording his Saturday specials back in June last year. Lester's 170% win profit haul last Saturday has placed him in the Top 5 performers over the past three months.

Since we started recording Lester's best bets for Saturday race meetings, many punters have expressed their disbelief that Lester is not camped in the Top 10 on the leader board. Some punters have explained this by suggesting his racing tips perform better during the week, or that the price of his winners are adversley impacted by his popularity. As Lester continues to move closer to the Top 10 the answer might just be that cream sometimes takes a little bit longer to rise to the top.
