Free Form ratings & Questions
 

I've a neural based system/s and looking at using ratings to help with selections...so have a couple quick questions on ratings.

Unitab ratings - What are they based on? I think I remember wesmip mentioned unitab rating are based on speed. Is this correct?

Who provides the form rating for tabracing.com.au/ I know it says Sky form, is this the same as Techform?

Are techform ratings available free and has anyone have any comments regarding them i.e. long term S/R, find them accurate? etc

...or any other free ratings, who would you recommend.

Thanks in advance!

sorry can't help you Stix.

I'm also sorry that I can't help you Stix.

Hi Stix,

Regarding Techform, I found this on the RISA website. I think they're $5.50 per meeting.

RISA Techform

I found this info on the racing Vic website:
The Australian Horse Rating system was devised by Perth-based National Ratings Pty Ltd in conjunction with the Racing Services Bureau (now part of RISA) in 1985. Its Techform Ratings are a computer-generated numerical form guide that is calculated by the rating of past performances combined with a detailed analysis at acceptance time.

Techform Ratings are an exclusive feature of racebooks throughout Australia and are available for subscribers through RISA/RSB. They are also available on the internet on selected TAB sites.


- Unitab ratings as far as I can gather are sourced from AAP.

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers,

The Schmile

Free Form ratings & Questions
 

Hi Stix.

The skyform ratings you enquired about are the old wizard ratings.

They are run by Warren Block from a company called successability.

The in wet ratings on the tab website are not from this company.

They are from sky channel itself.

Stix,

The Techform ratings are far superior to Unitab ratings.
When both were free I gathered the data for a few years to compare them.
Techform stood head and shoulders above Unitab.

Techform used to be free on Supertab (vic) but they since dropped them and you have to pay $5.50 per meeting now.

They are good, but I don't believe I'd pay anything like $5.50 a meeting.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Yep, I'm not going to pay $5.50 either Chrome, i was hoping they might be still available for free somewhere....

What would people say are the "best" free ratings?

My research suggests the Don scott ratings at Racingandsports.
Its definitely not the unitab ratings.
Its definitely not the default neural ratings.

I have not researched any other ratings.

I'm still getting Dave's Winner In Six ratings.

The best free ratings that work for me in combination,
With the neurals(NOT DEFAULT) are the premium ratings.

Unfortunately i have only recorded certain races that meet my criteria.

They only became available early july from memory

I have only been recording since the start of august.
They far outweigh my current ratings and anything else,
That i have tried.

Cheers.
Gary.
