Speed Ratings

Thank you for all your comments...

I think that it's going to take a while to get to grips with the best way of using the speed ratings.

I've been working on them all winter and I'm still confused and, in a way, that's part of the problem for me.

I've been so close to them that I can't see the wood from the trees.

Anyway, they seem to bring up big priced winners but, generally when a horse is low rated according to the normal ratings.

I think that a few days of me not thinking about them might allow me to think about them more clearly and suggest some strategies.

Here are today's Speed Ratings.

They are in the long format (all horses in each race) but from Sunday (or maybe Monday) I shall start producing two other formats which will show the top three rated horses in all races (including currently unrated races) and the top three rated horses in just those currently rated races.

The explanation of all the columns can be found here... New format ratings manual

As always, your thoughts and comments are very welcome.

My kindest regards
