Heres an idea for rating consistancy.

Only target races where the whole field has had 8+ career starts.
Now work out a percentage on how many times the horse has finished in the first 5 positions to career starts & convert this to a percentage.


Mark Reids site has a figure that has this info but one has to input the horses name to get it , can be very tedious.
He calls them F5`s.

Another is to calculate the combined career percentage of 1sts & 2nds only.
(ignore career 3rds)



The win to place percentage has a lot of logic to it .
It will be interesting to see which is the strongest situation to use it in.
One might find it to be more accurate where the whole field has had 8+
career starts.

Cheers.
