shaun, someone on here used to put a 'value" next to each horses placing in Listed > Group races (maybe even listed as well) and used that "value" as a rating. Interesting way to rate a horse but he / she backed them at every start (only the highest rated in the field tho' so not really a "stable" but close).

There were many good winners he / she backed simply by "rating" all Listed > group race placegetters (incl winners of course). Not all races would be of equal value, some S.A. races were given a lesser value than say if the same race were in Melbourne ..... I might go and look for this coz' it's interesting reading, and they got some big priced winners up.

Further to your post shaun, it may be easier to be more disciplined following this method. This requires no tinkering.
