Here's a little system I had a play with.

Get a stable of horses together and the rating is the number of times each horse has started favourite.
It doesn't matter whether they won or not, but just started favourite.

Here's an example of how this works:

<pre>
Horse Trainer Number Of Times Started Favourite
Lonhro J R Hawkes 32
Mitanni J P Wallace 29
More Joyous G Waterhouse 25
Danzamonkey M Lehmann 24
Hot Danish L J Bridge 24
So The Cat Said R N Godbolt 24
Black Caviar P G Moody 23
Gold Edition R E Maund 23
Innocenttassie J D Shelton 23
Juerga S Hood 23
Line By Line O Cairns 23
Precise Timing M R Stitt 23
Solitas M O'Leary 23
Azraq P M Perry 22
King Flyer J Luttrell 22
Miss Andretti D L Freedman 22
Mt. Gower M J Mair 22
Northerly F R Kersley 22
Beamer M T Eggleston 21
Golden Delicious J Taylor 21
Scenic Garden M O'Leary 21
</pre>

And here's the return on the above horses.
<pre>
Selections: 1,151
Winners: 327
Placings: 644
Win Strike Rate: 28.41%
Place Strike Rate: 55.95%
Win Profit 81.98 units (TAB divvys)
Place Profit 36.20 units (TAB divvys)
Win POT 7.12% (TAB divvys)
Place POT 3.15% (TAB divvys)
</pre>

Note, I have only included horses that have started favourite more than 20 times.

Something to investigate ;)

Any horse which has started favourite more than 20 times, but also any sportsman ;)

Works on the trots too (Shhhhh)

P.S. I used to use this on the greyhounds in the 80's and recently remembered it, so did some research.

Modesto
Bold Trease
Pharoah's Mask

Greyhound punters will remember those great dogs.

I love the system. I might look further into this. Thanks Chrome.
