My main rating system (focusing only on Perth metrop) is based on Don Scott’s ideas – have been using successfully for well over 10 years. Wrote my own programs in the original “basic” programming language. These programs still work today! (DOS based) – thinking of updating though to say Access or straight VB. Have developed my own class figures, did use Don’s to start off with. Have developed and maintained my own jockey ratings. Also have modified the barrier factor (don’t think as important), consistency and form pattern factors. Frame my market as per Don Scott’s formula but frame it say 5% or 10% in my favour for the higher class races. Punt on them as per the DS method, but also focus on first six rated for the multiples. Anything I’ve rated 8/1 or less, that I don’t get on (odds on offer are under) I use as a banker in various multiples. Have gradually increased my base betting unit over time.
