I asked Tassie tote how they arrived at their ratings.This was their reply....


In regards to your question about the THOROUGH Form Interactive form
guide, the ratings are based off the class and time of the race. 20
points of rating equals one full length, so in your example where the
difference is 5 points (545 - 540), then they would finish approximately
one head apart.

Syllabus23 - How do they perform?

In my opinion this is the best free form guide available online.Career performance and ratings in a drop down format.Easy to follow and great for form students.Lot's of valuable information...

Lolol of course that wasn't the question.

The value in their ratings is that you are seeing a horse's career ratings on one page.They dont rate the current race,,just past performances,so you are left to decide your own base rating.I like it,, but these things tend to be a matter of individual preference.

Good luck,, good punting...

Well, I'm trialling a ratings method at the moment and yesterday I used both the Tas Tab ratings and Ozeform ratings to do a comparison.

I rated 7 races, although the two at Murwullimbah were abandoned. In the other 5 races, between the two sets of ratings, I found the winner of all of them in the top or equal top rated horses. Using Ozeform, I had the three shorter priced winners rated on top whereas the Tas ratings had them 2nd, 3rd or 4th. However, using the Tas ratings, I had Swan Hill 5-10 Mer Bebe rated on top and it paid $16 for the win. I also had Swan Hill 7-7 Most Handsome equal top rated and it paid $12. In Mer Bebe's race, Ozeform had Number 3 rated on top. It finished 3rd and an any 2 bet on those two horses paid $156. Very nice!

Importantly, the Tas tab ratings rate EVERY race, unlike Ozeform. The race that Most Handsome won last start which had it up the top was not even rated on Ozeform. Very frustrating to see a figure of 0.0 next to quite a few country races. Also, it's MUCH slower using Ozeform to get the ratings.

One thing that found them both out however was Lookout in the Moruya Cup. It had won at Canterbury on Friday, and neither site had updated the form and rating for that run. So I had to make a judgement myself on it's rating for that run. Personally, I thought it was a pretty good thing in the race, despite the extra 2.5kgs hcp it received.

Sportz....list the races you rated i would like to give then a run via my ratings to see what come up with......i like the links that give information for that particular form...this very useful to see how the horse has done at the distance and stuff

Just have a quick peek at Jazzark's form in Rocky today.

The poor darned horse has had 22 runs this preparation.It probably pulls a milk cart in it's spare time and takes the kids to school......

Here they are Shaun. Sorry, but I actually deleted the prices I had assessed for each horse and I don't feel like working them out again.

As I said, with the Moruya Cup, I actually had to make my own assessment of Lookout's last run, but I think it was probably fairly close to the ratings that the horse would have been given by Ozeform and Tas Tab.
