Something new for you

Hey All,

Yep, still alive and kicking - battling along but a little off starting up with this again.

However, on a brighter note I've been inspired by a post on Ausrace - an Australian horse racing email list - and dusted off an old rating systems I was playing around with a couple of years ago(on and off since).

Basically, they are time based ratings, with a twist, and extra bits built in to capture the form factors I consider important.

I won't go into too much detail for now, or possibly ever - if you can find an edge you need to keep it - but I'll post the results from today's little test and some ratings for tomorrow to see how they go.

I'll just post my top 5 raters for the quaddie legs - the prices might seem a bit strange, they are priced to 90% and are what spits out when I enter in all the numbers.

Here's today's 4 races from Warrnambool + results (NSW TAB prices)

Race 5

6 Diamonds at Dusk $3.5 - Won $2.30
3 Tan Tat Jet $3.5 - 2nd
8 Melete $9.4 - 3rd
2 Bezzar's Fiddle $16.1
9 Bombay Express $16.4 - 4th

Race 6

10 Four Legs Good $3.6 - Won $15.40
1 De Arias $3.6 - 3rd
3 Aly Aladar $6.1
5 Briefing $16.5 - 2nd
7 Venetian Delight $32.4

Race 7

8 Miss Supernatural $3.5
5 Old Songs $3.5
6 Fresh Breeze $5.1
9 Tordacity $16.4
4 At the Oasis $46.9 - 2nd

Race 8

2 Old Mates Act $4.4 - Won $6.50
11 Mega Star Milly $5.1 - 3rd
12 Prettyasapicture $8.9
3 Ramano's Xaar $10.0
14 Makaha $16.0

So not bad results at all with 3 out 4 top raters winning - only 2 at over my rating though - that won't continue but the ratings can throw up some good priced winners so I'll see how they go.

Here's some for Stony Creek tomorrow - based on a Good track and before scratchings

Have a great night All
