I am new to this forum and think its a fantastic opportunity to build my knowledge on the horse racing caper.

I am a regular Saturday afternoon punter and rely heavily on comment and opinion from the so-called experts to decide on my wagers.

I reckon its time to become a little more advanced on my approach to investing on the horses.

I am looking for some ideas that others may have on creating your own ratings, some thoughts and factors to take into account when establishing these ratings would be appreciated.
