Measurement tool for ratings
I'm just about out of ideas to throw in the air and I'm sure everyone is sick of my comments.
But with racing comes a lot of luck. Often a jockey can stuff up a ride by getting caught 3 wide etc... or the bob of the nose of the line can be the difference between a great day or a poor one.
Basically I'm looking at assessing horses that have won by 3L or more and saying I'm confident that with their prior preparation they are the best horse on the day and regardless about the other horses run, they still with luck on there side would not have won.
Also this is a stupid question too, but do any race tracks provide with data in relation to the actual weight of the horse? I'm trying to assess an edge in weight ratings in relation to ratio of weight of horse to weight of jockey.
Thanks guys
