So 6214, comes out as -3,-4,-1,3 and when summed this is -3+-4+-1+3 = -5. The -3(minus three) came from 6-9 = -3, the -4 (minus 4) came from 6-2 = -4, the -1 (minus 1) came from 2-1 =-1, and the (+)3 came from 4 minus 1 = +3. The -5 for this runner, and the calculated scores for all runners is then multiplied by 1.5 to give a weight rating variation and this product is then added to the limit weight for this race and the allocated weight deducted from that. The best result, the highest/biggest number resulting from that is considered the best for this race, and you can zero that against the other calculated weights to sort out the weight rated best ranking.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I use a variation of this method in my own punting, having streamlined a few of the calculations, but the principles are the same, and the selections also.

style="color:#1f497d">I have never rated jockeys nor trainers as I wonder if there is all that much between a number of them at the top level. If the SP figures is a solid determinant of the overall structure of horse racing does it not figure those jockeys that ride well on well fancied horses are giving the horses the chance of winning the market determines. Say Jockey A has 100 rides in races in town on favs and scores 35% of the time is he not a fraction better than Jockey B who rides 32%. So the next time the two jockeys meet on say favs at 2/1 and 9/4 (close) but the 32% jockey rides an on pacer and the 35% jockey rides a chronic get back type where does the ratings look now. It would be best to rate them all on their ability with leaders, on pacers, mid fielders and get back types and another set of figures comes up far more accurate, imho, than just a raw wins and wins and placings.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I look forward to Len’s reply.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Roman Koz<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"> Racing [</span><a href="mailto:racing-bounces@ausrace.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">mailto:racing-bounces@ausrace.com</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">] <b>On Behalf Of </b>L.B.Loveday<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 21, 2019 6:12 PM<br><b>To:</b> </span><a href="mailto:tonymoffat@bigpond.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">tonymoffat@bigpond.com</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">; </span><a href="mailto:racing@ausrace.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">racing@ausrace.com</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><br><b>Subject:</b> [AusRace] Jockeys generally<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black">Tony,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black">Did not get to me and I just saw it in the archives - a very different rating method to mine; I'll evaluate and comment anon.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black">LBL<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">790*150-93-96 is the revealed racing stat for Linda Meech tomorrow - to<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">expand this Ms Leech has had 790 rides for 150 wins in the time frame<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">covered by this stat.
