Yes those are the ones. On its own it's obviously not a clear cut winning system but it's a very good elimination method.Points to horses not ready or passed their best or about to perform.

That's good to know, at least all these seperate bits of knowledge may come in handy over the long term, just knowing which bits are worth considering.

As always in racing it's not a foolproof standalone method if it was we'd never heard of it.

More than likely. I can't see and wouldn't expect anybody to give away their winning ideas to all and sundry as they probably wouldn't remain too profitable for long, then again, as somebody else on here remarked you could probably write a winning system on the footpath outside Randwick and most punters would either ignore it or give it away after it's first losing run. I think there maybe some truth in that too.
So maybe some of the fitness pattern concepts have merit, just a matter of refining them a bit, or a lot.

My rating works well enough, basically unchanged since 1990.

Good to hear that you've got a method that's stood the test of time lomaca, gives me some hope at least. I've read a couple of Blakemore's books, I think some of his stuff is redundant since they changed the class ratings system but good to know some is worth considering.
Thanks
