Gday Duritz,
I personally penalise first uppers, by using the number of days between runs as a negative... ie last run 10 days ago = minus 10, last run 100 days ago, minus 100.. altho I am thinking of ditching this from my ratings formula, I end up with lots of horses with a negative rating.. I will make a decison at the end of the month ready for the new season... I will see how this month pans out... I am prepared to penalise them because I am sure that statistically first uppers do not win their fair share of races...
Thats what I meant earlier in the day when I said I wasnt sure that the EXForm ratings were not for me.. they are scored differently to the way I do them and I can't see how I can use that style of rating |
