The right principle in a number of races. We got the second horse in the 18:20 and the 18:50. It was right to take on the heavy odds on favourite in the 19:55. A lay bet would have won, but we picked the wrong each way contender to take it on with. Likewise in the 20:25, we were right to look at the pedigree angle, and found the 8/1 winner in our shortlist of 3. However, the recommendation, Dark and Dangerous, proved to be neither of those things! Post mortem:

We produce a "net leader" rating also, and can add this to the public ratings in future. From what we've seen it has merit as a final statistic of pace, though can be misleading without the raw leader stat - especially in a race with no other pace. Often the horses who have shown Jekyll and Hyde characteristics (and may therefore have a net rating of zero) will produce if nothing else has a history of front running. Like anything else it's about interpretation - and producing a visual draw sheet is definitely a useful aid. Hi Alan – very nice.

This shows where the pace should be. Very basic I know but all Ive done is subtract the lagging rating from the leading rating to guve an overall figure. Might be of interest to someone. http://i52.tinypic.com/2ue77ep.jpg I hope you dont mind (as this is a public blog) but Ive used the Silver Cup figures to create a visual representation by using your figures to create a draw sheet.
