Hi, Two Bets.

Yes, the neurals can be very puzzling. I think they are based on the trainer's record at the distance and also at the track, whilst Betfair ranks the trainer by his/her's overall strike rate regardless of distance or track. Betfair also shows the trainer's (and jockey's) strike rate over certain periods including the last 100 races.

I would be more inclined to believe Betfair's ratings than the neurals, but others might disagree.
