I like to keep my ratings simple. they are based on only class, field strength, limit weight, weight and beaten margin. all the other factors i only consider on race day; i'd rather not manipulate the numerical figure too much.

i'm confident enough in my assessment of field strength (or quality) which is the key to any class ratings. i think i do just like Scott did, but i cant really remember as i havent read Winning More for like 19 yrs :P

when analysing form i place a lot of emphasis on early pace, finishing speed and form improvement.
