Here's a little system I had a play with.

Get a stable of horses together and the rating is the number of times each horse has started favourite.
It doesn't matter whether they won or not, but just started favourite.

Here's an example of how this works:

Horse	Trainer	Number Of Times Started Favourite

Lonhro	J R Hawkes	32

Mitanni	J P Wallace	29

More Joyous	G Waterhouse	25

Danzamonkey	M Lehmann	24

Hot Danish	L J Bridge	24

So The Cat Said	R N Godbolt	24

Black Caviar	P G Moody	23

Gold Edition	R E Maund	23

Innocenttassie	J D Shelton	23

Juerga	S Hood	23

Line By Line	O Cairns	23

Precise Timing	M R Stitt	23

Solitas	M O'Leary	23

Azraq	P M Perry	22

King Flyer	J Luttrell	22

Miss Andretti	D L Freedman	22

Mt. Gower	M J Mair	22

Northerly	F R Kersley	22

Beamer	M T Eggleston	21

Golden Delicious	J Taylor	21

Scenic Garden	M O'Leary	21

And here's the return on the above horses.

Selections: 1,151

Winners: 327

Placings: 644

Win Strike Rate: 28.41%

Place Strike Rate: 55.95%

Win Profit 81.98 units (TAB divvys)

Place Profit 36.20 units (TAB divvys)

Win POT 7.12% (TAB divvys)

Place POT 3.15% (TAB divvys)

Note, I have only included horses that have started favourite more than 20 times.

Something to investigate
