Being a novice at the game of punting I have a question regarding the free ratings in the Professional punting site.

When a horse is scratched, another horse is substituted. Does this mean that the new horse rated as equal as the other three horses and if so, how come it didn't make the original list of four?

---------------------------------------------

The form analysts are not placing the horses in ranking order, that is why we said for betting purposes all horses rank equally.

For tote punters to have any show, they need to back winners at good odds, not tote favourites.

That is where the skill of the person accessing the information will be important. The same information will be used in different ways by different people.

The horse added after a scratching couldn't be in the original list of four because then there would be five, not four.
