Hi partypooper,
I think what crackone is getting at is, horses are quite different to fixed odds on a table game. There are no variables in a standard table game, odds aren't shifting (except of course card counting and card games in general) but all wheel based games, the odds are firm.
With horses, there are so many variables, that the ratings may be more accurate sometimes than others, they might be overall very accurate, but when other factors are encountered they are not.
Therefore, just backing overs, might not be profitable,as the weight of money on some selections indicate more than is revealed in the form or ratings.
You might look at all favourites for example and back only those that you can get a decent price on, BUT you may only get a decent overlay, because there is no support for it, and no support means you need at least 40% overlay to make money, 10% or 20% won't cut it.
