I did an analysis a couple of years ago on the ratings.
I'm not entirely sure exactly how they are calculated, but the Techform ratings outperformed the Unitab ratings by a fair margin.
I also found that they must have a generic scale, so it's just their top rated horse which is allocated 100.
I.E. a 100 rater in one race is not the same as a 100 rater in another race, there can be a massive difference in the actual points the horses get, yet they still get 100 for being top.
If they did it like the racing post ratings it would be much better.
