This thread got me thinking,a couple of years ago i was playing around with a ratings idea mixing recent performance and average prizemoney,a few days after reading this thread it occured to me that the prizemoney raced for in recent starts is much more important and would suit the old idea i gave up on.

With winners like The Jackal $9.30,Ice Chariot $7.70 and Cefalu $42.50 amongst other nice bets that i had clearly in front like Baughurst, Instructed,Mollys Folly etc it seems to have potential.

The downers are that a good horse winning an easy race before the one im rating can catch me out,it also doesnt seem to work as good on some of these low class mid week races and the biggest pain is having to do it all manualy,its simple maths but takes forever to do a few meetings.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Dale,

if you want it automated I can see what I can do (drop me a line over email)... I can add it to the many other ratings/techniques I am trying to automate.

Good Luck.

Hmmm now im even more interested in this,i'll tidy up a few things and get back to you soon.


As this thread was about form races,what about the formline out of the W J McKell Cup on june the 2nd won by Zavite.
