Thanks a lot XPT. Let's see how they go.

Good to see you back & posting xptdriver!

G'day xpt,

I liked checking your ratings when you've put them up in the past - often nice results - but then you vanished!

These ratings look a bit dubious to me - particularly the last two races at Hawksbury - no Langborghini in the eighth? (admittedly up in class, but sure to run well the way he finishes off his races) - and in the ninth Radetzky March rates clear of the field in my view (winner at the track + nicely drawn + 1400m ideal + promising horse on the up).

Anyway - looking forward to checking the results at the end of the day...then I'll probably have to edit and proclaim you the master...

Cheers

Gday Filante,

Gday paddy and Sportz as well

Yep u are probably right, about Lamborghini and Radetsky. I am tryin 2 different approches to rating at the moment. The ones I posted plus another. Just for interst I will post you the other set of ratings for 2 races you mentioned. Like in the 2nd at Hawkesbury, (where the fav was well and truly overbet, my ratings had the winner rated 2nd, but just 1 point behind.. I think the fav started at about 1/2... Not with my money). i don't think those 2 horses are by any means "shoe ins". Admittedly they rate better doing it the other way. Here are the "other" Ratings:



RACE 8 5:00pm Panthers Hawkesbury Gold Cup
3yo+ Group 3 Handicap Apprentices Cannot Claim
1 72 Fiery Venture
2 65 Stoway
16 63 Langborghini
8 59 Court's In Session

RACE 9 5:40pm Panthers Rendezvous Final Hcp Class 5
1 74 Loftily
3 72 Radetzky March
8 65 Green Sun
5 65 Diamonic

This is in no way to be ascribed as to be a put down,but I am grateful that the Avatars are not flying or dancing at the minute.

But I would like to know fromm the Xptdriver,what the difference in ratings means.
That is,does a 100 rating mean itis a kilo better off than a 99 rating?
That sort of thing.
And I also am grateful that you are back posting,Xptdriver.
I have read some of your stuff in searches,and indeed you are a GREAT contributor as far as useful knowledge is concerned.

Right on the money at Port Lincoln and Townsville; nothing much at Cranbourne and Hawksbury...odd!

Gday moeee,

Sorry for the tardiness replying, gotta work a real job.

to answer your question about what the number actually means.. Nothing really.. It is a conversion number from a much greater number, to make the ratings more easily understandable. With the type of ratings I posted I decided to use the ratings figure instead of the price. ( I always used to post a rating expressed as a price- set at about 116%, to represent the TAB take out). the 100 was the top score possible, in most races that is acheived, some it isn't. But sadly those ratings were not as good as I would like so I will keep on fiddling.. a few favs and a decent priced winner, I havent checked but they may have shown a small profit, depending on where you were betting.

Thanks for the kind remarks about some past articles, not sure that everyone would agree tho
