I've been trialling two different ratings methods and I'm not sure which is best yet, so if you guys don't mind, I'll post both sets of ratings for this week.

Method 1: (Simple weight based ratings)
6 Hardy Steele (62) $4.30
9 Pray In Vain (60.5) $7.10
3 Ruben (59.5) $9.70
5 Pink Fit (59.5) $9.70
8 Close Encounter (59.5) $9.70

Method 2: (More complex points based ratings)
5 PINK FIT (107) $3.45
6 HARDY STEELE (107) $3.45
9 PRAY IN VAIN (105.5) $5.75
3 RUBEN (103.5) $10.40
8 CLOSE ENCOUNTER (102.5) $14.30

Well done. The first 4 paid $3350 up here.

Well looking at the results i would say weight ratings won that race

Between the lot of us, I think we did pretty well.
