Yeah thanks Gunny,

I agree that weight ratings and the like are over used but if one could apply their own unique slant on them they hold a lot of merit.

A couple of the winners mentioned above would not pass my final test with one of those rules devised to reduce the bad value winners and losers and another rule designed to stick to horses with good recent form and fitness.

Time will tell how things hold up but i've been around long enough and tried many approaches to know that this one has a chance.

I guess i'll have to get out the old form guides and see if i'm right.
