All OSOP From the BackSide Horses are posted within the “OSOP Picks” category. Every day this category will be updated with the following day’s selections.
How does OSOP’s From The BackSide get it’s selections?
By using the Oldest System on the Planet, the BackSide provides horse racing selections every day for every North American track that’s running that day. If you own a copy of the Oldest System on the Planet, then you already know how each horse is selected, but if you do not own a copy of OSOP, you can pick up a copy at HorsePlayerHaven.com.
How many horses are selected per race?
The amount of OSOP horses in a race can vary from race to race, so to keep things simple, there can be no more than 2 qualifying OSOP horses in any given race otherwise the race is culled. Some races will have only 1 qualifying OSOP selection, while others may have 2. Other races will be skipped altogether.
When a race has one horse, it will be posted like this-
If there are 2 horses, their names wil be seperated by a comma like this-
UPDATE- 3-10-2013- In some instances, there will be OSOP horses that run out strong at the first of the race, but never really finish well. These are what I call “terminal quitters”. As an added bonus to the BackSide selections, I am looking over every OSOP horse in every race and if I see the potential for an OSOP selection that is showing signs as a terminal quitter, this horse will be removed from the selections as well. This will be a great added bonus to BackSide members in an effort to raise our percentages and eliminate some horses that just will not get there for us.
How should I bet the selections?
This, of course, is entirely up to you. The horses are listed in the order in which they appear on the form, so there is no importance placed on the first listed horse over a second listed horse. Whether you bet one or both is up to your discretion. You may also choose to bet an exacta, daily doubles, pick 3’s, pick 4’s, etc. Again, this is your decision. OSOP’s From the BackSide only provides you with the qualifying OSOP horses in any given race, the rest is up to you!
Some of the horses selected didn’t run at all. Why is this?
Because selections are made at least one day in advance, some horses may scratch before a race. The reason why a horse may scratch can vary and sometimes happen as late as right before the race. If a horse does scratch, you may very well see him in an upcoming race. If the horse is a qualifying OSOP From the BackSide horse, we’ll be sure to post him again.
All OSOP From the BackSide results are posted within the “OSOP Results” category. Every day this category will be updated with the previous or current day’s results.
OSOP results are listed like this-
Each result will be listed under it’s track for quick and easy identification. The race will be listed with the winning or place horse that OSOP From the BackSide selected along with the win and place money that it paid. All winning or place earnings are based on $2 wagers. This is the same for all exotic wagers as well. We realize that some of you will wager higher amounts, but to keep things simple for everyone, we use $2 wagers as our standard. All win and place money will be highlighted in yellow like this-
All exotic wins such as exactas, daily doubles, pick 3’s, pick 4’s, etc will be highlighted in green like this-
What If The Races Were Cancelled?
Sometimes race days do get cancelled because of weather conditions are track conditions that are too dangerous for the horses and riders. We will simply notify you within the results when this happens like this-
BackSide Replays
From time to time, we like to show off some of our more outstanding winners. We try to do this at least once a week, but posting dates on BackSide Replays may vary.

Exotic Stats
Just like the Hot & Cold Tracks, the Exotic Stats keep up with all of the exotic hits that OSOP’s From the BackSide have made. On the 1st and 15th of every month, we will post Exotic Stats in the “Exotic Stats” category.

Below the image, you will see something like this-
This gives you every track from that time period, the total number of exacta hits for that track and the total amount of earnings that particular track produced in exacta earnings (based entirely of off the $2 standard wager as explained above). The very bottom line of this section will list OSOP Total Exacta Hits, how many there were and the total dollar amount they produced. This will be highlighted in green.
The rest of the exotic stats are listed in the same way, providing an image for the top 3 hits, then listing the tracks, how many hits and what the total dollar amount for that track is. Each section is broke down by Daily Doubles, Pick 3’s, Pick 4’s, etc. depending on what exotics OSOP’s From the BackSide produces.
Hi Mike……Have you considered putting OSOP on software and make it available to your customers?
Hi Herman! An OSOP software is an option I have looked into in the past. The problem with this idea is developing a software that can pull specific information from the racing form. Not being “tech” savvy, I’ve asked around and the developers I’ve talked to in the past said that the cost to develop something like this would be much higher than I had anticipated! That’s when I first started thinking about From the BackSide and well, here we are!
