Where do you get your results from that include settle positions?

I've wanted to include this element in my rating for ages but have never really come up with a solution I was happy with. I derive a "preferred" position from scraping a form guide, but the race results I scrape don't include settle info. Without that, to my mind, I never really seriously pursued it further.

Originally I did my comparison to the results shown on www.racingzone.com.au

Their website went down for a while so I could no longer record their post-race settling positions however I just had a look and seems their website is back up. Pretty easy website to scrape the results from as well.

I have no idea regarding the accuracy of settling results etc etc for their website but there you go anyway.

Cheers, Josh. A bit hit and miss as regards which venues they're available for, but should give me something to play around with.

Here is a question for some people to ponder.

I've been testing my new ratings and some staking ideas and was interested in the view of others. If you had the choice of the following what would you go with:

Option 1:

+79.10 units
48.00% Strike Rate
79.10% POT
11.07 P/MR (Profit / Maximum Return)

Option 2:

+68.98 units
48.00% Strike Rate
68.98% POT
22.59 P/MR

Basically what I'm asking is would you forgo some profit for consistency of returns? The above options are using the same selections however one is staked with 1 unit per bet, the other is staked to use the same amount of units overall but adjusted for odds (i.e. more on lower odds, less on higher odds).

Thoughts?

Option 2 IMHO

I'd go for consistency so Option 2.
