I"m on some sort of fairytale run at the moment. Some nice winners there could of been even better with some unlucky 2nds . Great Tri at Eagle farm thanks to the best barrier again.
I reckon i'm 1/4 way there to recouping all my loses over the last few years .. :wink:

Just when i thought i should be backing my selections outright.. my backups today were spectacular.
I picked no winners from 5 and only 1 fav saver came in. But the Unitab raters were excellent ..Im not sure how they've done in other races but they saved me today. Maybe i should be using them full time instead of using them only when sportsman isnt out.

Any thoughts on who you guys prefer...just hard to change something thats been so succesful lately..

Mav,

I've been watching both sportsman and unitab for a few weeks now and they are much the same with some good spells and some bad. Here is some figures for saturdays over the last couple weeks.

SPORTSMAN FAVOURITES
SELS 139
WINS 25
PLACE 73
W/RETURN 98.6
P/RETURN 131.9

UNITAB 100 RATERS
SELS 140
WINS 18
PLACE 65
W/RETURN 67.1
P/RETURN 108.4

I hope this helps. I will be keeping all unitab and sportsman ratings in the future so if you need more info down the track let me know.

Just to add something else for you to think about :smile:.

UNITAB 98 RATERS ( That are barrier 1-8 )
SELS 43
WINS 11
PLACE 20
W/RETURN 66.3
P/RETURN 47.0

Maybe someone else has a couple year database with unitab ratings that could run these longer but the 98 Rating one looks ok.

Thanks RacingNovice,,,,it would seem that Sportsman have the edge...i think what im doing now,,,using Zip when i can and unitab the other times is probably the way to go...i suppose i could always use PPN raters ?

PPN raters? Im new to this and don't know all the sites or ratings places as yet :smile:. Or 90% of racing terms lol.
