Racing and Football Outlook Ratings

If Mark Nelson really believes in his own ratings he’ll be re-mortgaging his house and putting it and this wife and kids on Lough Derg in the National Spirit Hurdle on Sunday

Does look good to complete the three timer I have to admit

CS, when looking at these speed ratings, think of the Women’s 800 or 1500 metres in athletics. Come the World Championships or whatever, the best times will all have been done by the Russkis beforehand. That doesn’t mean that they are going to win, but it does mean that they have done the best seasonal times beforehand.

They’re the best performance a horse has put up on the clock not who is the best horse.

Not particularly into jazzy kinds of songs, but I’ll let it go this time,

Hi gang

I have recently joined forces with a mate from my local bookies. (we share a similar general view… regarding betting, and our two heads are working well and also keeping us focused)

Jimmy, my mate, swears by Mark Nelsons Time Test ratings.
The top 3 figures have been producing some big priced winners>>> Gaily Noble 20-1 Gleaming Spirit 20-1 and many more.
Personally I am a Solidus fan.

I would like to hear from any other Time Test users, with a view to finding out his speed rating formula. Eventually aiming to write some computer code that will produce these ratings automatically on a,more complete, daily basis.

I don’t really understand speed ratings, and it looks like a few others who have contributed to this thread don’t either.

Would someone be good enough to explain them?

Hi aji

Hmmm well…
Speed Ratings measure a horse’s performance against the clock.
The following elements are required to produce the rating.

eg (+12.65) see racing post

2. Going Correction. This figure adjusts the average
up or down if the ground is Firm or Soft.

3. Next a formula is used to produced the actual Speed Rating.
which is then adjust to 10 stone (Flat) 12 stone (Jumps)

This is just a rough explaination, but i hope it helps.

[nagwa]

Contentious subject, obviously, but I won’t back a horse than doesn’t have a decent rating by Topspeed and/or Laurence Taylor for ATR and/or Mark Nelson. To use a vogue expression, ‘works for me’.
