Having hit a brick wall of late when assessing races it looks like I need to get myself a decent system.

And i suppose there in lies the problem

[onefurlongout]

Oh and should any classifiaction of races be avoided??

[onefurlongout]

cheers perks I’ll remember that one for the next time

[onefurlongout]

Here are selections for some of the York races today

2.10 – Webbow
2.40 – Pick a name
3.15 – Fortunate Isle
3.50 – Tagula Sunrise

Fingers crossed!

Very disapointed with my selection, Asset.

I havent seen the race yet but was he hampered in running?

[onefurlongout]

Thought so

[onefurlongout]

Sorry that i have not posted on here for a few days. Will hope to have some more rating up for discussion next week.

[onefurlongout]

Did I miss something on this?

[onefurlongout]

The only question to answer tomorrow is how far will authorized win by. I dont think any of the other horses can live with him, but at those prices I’ll be leaving him alone.

Archipenko might be a decent bet without the fav

[onefurlongout]

Not the best result with the winner being number 4 with 3 in 2nd 10th 3rd and 2 finishing 4th.

I’ll produce further ratings for the weekend and see if its any better

[onefurlongout]

Thought that was the case but just wanted to check.

Ive compiled rating for the 8.20 @ kempton (4/7)

Anything over 70 merits consideration
Horse 1 = 30
2=75
3=50
4=70
5=65
6=35
7=80
8=75
9=NR
10=65

Now I dont usually look at the all weather as I find it attracts a lower class of animal but for the purposes of the post I will try anyway. I’ll post for a better race on Fri or Sat.

Based on the above I’d consider 2,4,7 & 8 With 7 being the top rated and at a price of 16/1 seems a little on the high side.

The top two in the market are 6(f) @35pts and 10 at 65pts

Lets see how it gets on

[onefurlongout]

On some of the posts it talks about betting points, can I just ask what this means?

Ive had a look at the artemis article and it is interesting bit confused on some of the terminology but i think I get the jist of it all

[onefurlongout]

Not had chance to properly digest the site yet but I plan on reading the RP rating and Artemis article.

inital thoughts are that I need to radically overhaul my thought process in order to make a better profit. Perhaps by reading the above posts I’ll be in more of a informed decision.

Either way it looks like a bit of a long road to follow

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I will post an outcome for a race on friday/saturday one using my exisiting system and one using the advice from Dave.

In response to your Q dave I do allocate on an arbitary basis. My thoughts on course are that each course has its own charactersitics. Right hand, LH, galloping, tight etc and having formulated a table for each course in the UK I base my points this table. With regards to distance I feel this is an area that could let me down as I take no consideration in to the assciated going as thistaken into account separately. Perhaps i should combine these two factors.

I do however feel that the jockey is important and I take on your point about apprentice jockeys, should I therefore consider horse/jockey partnerships or just drop the jockey thing all together?

[onefurlongout]

I agree with it being a bit OTT on the categories hence the post.

I tend to use it in every race except the all weather again open to suggestions as to the best races to use.

Thanks for the post and I hope to get a few more ideas from the knowledgable crowd
