Hi, kumite.

Yes, it's regardless how the horse performed in that run. I haven't looked at any filters apart from the 11 days gap because the results in the testing period were so strong. Of course someone may think of a rule/filter that improves the results.

Yes, one can easily assume that run had more bearing than the 12 month period. But I don't really know how the rankings are calculated - maybe whoever does the calcs make no distinction from a race run 11 months ago against a race run last week, or if the more recent the race then the higher it is viewed which is consequently factored into the calculations?

From tomorrow I'll identify those selections that placed at its last start. Interestingly, the two winners today placed at their previous start, but I'll also be betting on the unplaced ones because I might miss some good priced placegetters.

Time will tell...

where do i find the don scott ratings on the r &s website??
not familiar with the site. thanks in advance..

michaelg - thanks again for another exciting prospect - can't wait to see how it also performs on Metro meetings.

luv2bet - From the R & S home page, click on Racing Today
Under Racing Today on the left hand column select Free Daily Stats
to the right hand side of each venue there are 4 small icons, the first is a horse, but the one to select is the third one which is like a sheet of paper.
The column BRR is for best race rating (I think) to the left of that is 12m and this is the column we're after. This is the 12m Rating figure, (again, I think).
DLS = Days since Last Start.

I'm pretty sure this is it - I'm certain someone will correct it if its wrong.

Cheers......Mancunian

Mancunian, you are correct with your instructions.

Unfortunately I won't be posting today's selections. I had a virus in my computer and after two and a half hours have only now fixed it (with a lot of luck). In fact I phoned a computer repairer but cancelled the oppointment a few minutes before he was due to arrive - saved a few dollars.

Mancunian, re Metro tracks - when I tested the method on Sat 18 Sept it performed very well.

thanks very much mancunian, got it no worries..
michaelg, are there any avenues you havnt explored??
love your work, always an interesting read. thanks

Slight amendment - BRR = Base Run Rating

Heres a little tip when using the 12m column.

If one clicks onto the 12m header in R & S , it will sort the whole column out in ranking order, therefore making it easier to get your selections. & less chance of error.

The DLR (Days Last Raced ) is to the left of this .

That interactive site is realy quite amazing , especially when you know that it's free.

Thanks for the tip, Bhagwan.

As you say, it almost eliminates the chance of making an error, and also saves a lot of time.

Today's selections are:

Gold Coast
2/1*

Moonee Valley
2/1
4/11

Morphetvile
1/6*

Rosehill
4/10*
8/8*

Toowoomba
1/1*
6/2*
7/2

Townsville
1/6*
3/5*
4/7

Yarra Valley
3/5*

I'm betting them to Place only.

michaelg,
I find a good filter for various systems can be the unitab ratings. A selection must be within 2 points of top rated horse. having used this yesterday would of elimated 4 losing bets and only 1 winner.
good luck with it,
