Trying to get my head around Ratings. Are there different ratings methodologies that incorporate different variables.
So one could utlise a weight rating system, class rating system and a speed rating system or are some particular ratings incorporating different portions of these?
With the Don Scott ratings i suppose I'm trying to understand what variables are included in the final rating. If this includes a points system around class and track and jockeys etc, and you wish to include other variables like a certain points for a top jockey or barrier are you double dipping?
Does this make sense?
