i use this method to keep the work load down.
i developed it from a former speed programming that i used to do.
but that was too laborious.

in yesterdays racing no matter how simple the method we always get it wrong.
on the weight factors modern era irish crusader and capadan were all within 0.21 lengths of each other. with irish crusader the most recent listed horse (ballarat cup) and getting to a distance he was very good value except that i backed him for a place only.
also the quinella was a bit of a gift but I didnt take it.

also in the rpert clarke stakes grundys crossing was minus 3 on the weights
so the first 3 were all substantially under zero on the weight factors.

good results really.

but referring to the ratings in general too many filters and you dont know where you are.
i guess that trainers know when their horses have a chance so we just have to learn to read the signs.
best wishes.
