Any info would be great evajb001. My selections on raceday only take a short while and I've bagged out ratings for long enough under the premise that "If everyone knows about them then they're overbet", so I like to either have some more ammo to bag them out, or find out that I'm wrong, or find out that they're a useful tool. Related to ratings, I do believe that you need to concentrate on one selection method (eg; Privateer and his Pareto method) and become an ************ in that area, otherwise you're all over the place. So I'll look at Ratings from the perspective that the followers use them as a guide.
