Years ago when I started to take punting seriously, I took aboard an advise from someone who was into time rating.
He said to me "the fastest horse wins the race!"

This advice took me down the garden path for many years and cost me countless hours of work, until I realised how wrong it was.

I'm not sure if he meant it literally or if I misunderstood him, it doesn't matter now.

It's not THE fastest horse in the race, that wins the race but the horse running the fastest time on the day!

I'm quite sure that time rating works and many punters using it successfully, but after many years trying to make it work for me, I finally laid it to rest.
I simply could not hack it. Just as well that my form and class rating works a charm.

Hope you will have better luck.

Good luck
