Harvey seems to trot this one out every few years. I don't have it from 76, but in 96 he trotted out System of the Century II. It was a total of 54 pages, also 7 rules. The first was an early speed beaten lengths requirement. The second a recency requirement, and the third a consistency requirement. Four and Five were turf and off track eliminations. Rule six was a Beyer speed figure tiebreaker. Rule seven basically said thet if you still have ties after comparing the Beyer figures to play them in the exotics.

Fill in the blanks yourself, add a very healthy dose of fudge factors and you have your own System of the Century.
