XPT,

All I am saying is that if I back every favourite at a price of 20+% over their final tab dividend, over a period of time, would I be in front or behind? my guess is slightly in front. As you point out there are true favourites and false favourites but racing being racing you will get horses that really deserve being short odds getting rolled and others that dont really deserve the favourite tag getting up. All ratings do is put you on to the horses that should run well provided that they get the chance to run their best, ( jockeys will have good days and bad days just like the rest of us) and on their bad oneswill position a horse poorly, so to me spending more time getting value rather than pooring through alot of form makes more sense. If your ratings are making you dollars then Im glad and hope it continues for you. The method I use also seems to work.
