NEW RATINGS

[YoungBuck]

I'm tentatively trying out a new ratings method, i'll post a few selections and see how it goes. It will be a mixed bag no doubt. Might throw up some value at times.

Towns.
R5 N3 CAMPBELL'S RUN

Hawk.
R4 N2 BEAU CELEB

Gee.
R6 N9 MALDIVIAN

[Sportz]

If Maldivian doesn't win very easily, it will be a big disappointment. Going by his first start, he really should be competitive in future against far superior opposition to this. He'll probably be about $1.20 though.

Have to agree with you there Sportz, looks unbeatable on form. I picked 3 races at random to rate, and it just so happened MALDIVIAN was in one of them. Wasn't a clear cut winner by my ratings, had FLEETING SUN a close second. Like i said, it will throw up some interesting top raters from time to time. I dusted off this formula i worked on from about a year ago. Worked very well but took too long. I am now using it only for the first 4 or 5 in the market or DFS ratings. Tried it twice yesterday for the first time in ages, came up with OSTLER at Belmont winning @ up to 7.00. Also HIFILANTE 2nd @ 2.30.

Yep. He was very disappointing.

Yeah he was disappointing, but i guess when you look at his first run Spielmaster did miss the start considerably and run him down so to run him to half a length probably was flattering.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Well, a 2nd, and a 3rd from 3 selections. Odds not great though. Might only post top raters with some value. If i can't jag something decent i'll pull the pin on it and dust it off in another two years!

Yep. He was very disappointing.
