Now after my rant...

Simple ratings.... I think a pretty fair base of any ratings is beaten margins, I believe they are very important to knocking up some ratings that are worth a cracker.. Another area that I have looked at is an SP profile.. this alone seems to point you towards the main chances in a race. Using the usual, distance/jockey/trainer/track/formline/W%/P%/API etc added to the 2 I mentioned above, I think will bring the main contenders to the fore..

As has been said earlier, the newspapers are pretty good too
