A far smarter punter than me once said career starts are far more important than age when it comes to rating chances. That was a starting point.
The small 5 start window (5-10 starts) comes from wanting to have the selections concentrated to a certain type of horse.
Lightly raced (unless they are 2yo of course).
Less likely to be carrying injury.
Hopefully any shin soreness, coltish traits or immaturity has been dealt with in the first five starts.
Also, in the first few starts the horse has shown enough to qualify for this system being top two in DS ratings, has a high API relevant to the event being assessed and is in the top two in the market.
I have trialled a first up system that also seems to favour these lightly raced types even though its filters are different to this system.
