hi brave chief

i do my own race ratings i am sure i do them alot different to the conventional ways.

Whilst they are not perfect they produce results. However ideas are always good to toss around.

To date i havent found anything that would better the results. That is to be more selective say when my ratings match another set of crtieria.

A few years ago there was a mob called dial a winner and they gave out over the phone their top two. When these matched close to my top raters i would take them and leave the other races.

I havent seen them around for a while so i just use my own without any other influence.

Also of course time is a factor that one has to spend to came to conclusions.

My simplistic view is that if the trainer runs the horse then its a chance and at the end of the day no one knows how the horse feels.
