I am sorry to ask this I have never even attempted a rating system and was trying work out how to even start doing it. I would imagine that the overseas horses would be extremely hard to rate unless they had been here before and even if they have your only rating them on a couple of runs at best.
As I said I am not looking for anyone devulge there formula or anything just a bit of an idea on how you guys go about compiling this info.

Gday raw
my ratings are pretty simple really... they involve past few SP, beaten lengths last few starts, average of the last few run's ratings and a couple of little things... quite often horses end up with a negative rating so I show them no rating at all... Using this method 1st starters are not rated at all, they are always tricky...
Using that formula is why Eyepopper rated so well in the Caulfield Cup, beacuse it's form had been ok overseas... and does not rate so well in the Melbourne Cup... Mainly beacuse of the price it started in the CC.. I think this method makes rating the OS horses a lot easier
Hope that helps a bit |
