THE SPEED FACTOR What is form? Can you truly say that you can compare racehorses who come from different classes, different venues, different distances-with each runner having had varying degrees of success-and make a legitimate assumption as to the likely winner? Form as we know it is the comparison of apples with oranges and rocks with rhinestones. All that glistens is not necessarily the winner of the next at Flemington. Doing the form can be fun, it is a harmless mental exercise that can give pleasure in the process. But it ceases to be a benign hobby once you start risking your wages on a whim. Form as we know it doesn't really exist. It is a phantom. You saw it clearly in race three, but when you reached out to touch it in the next it had vanished. You couldn't see it anymore. It had gone and you were left very confused.
When I was working as a pedigree expert for Melbourne's largest bloodstock agency I would often come across speedratings when studying the racing and breeding scene in the USA. These formats were inappropriate for local conditions-but there was plenty of merit in the concept. Imagine being able to assess a field by being able to give each horse a figure to represent its true speed over a distance. I researched the concept and adapted it to suit Australian conditions. I have now used Speedratings successfully for over ten years. When I assess a race each runner has a value. This value varies with distance, track and track condition. The variables that I have learnt and modified over ten years allow me to represent each runner with a figure that constantly changes to suit the conditions of the day.
Speedratings is a tried and true concept that has one sensational benefit over traditional horse racing selection methods and ratings provided by handicappers and other experts. That is: form as it is generally known is totally discounted (and if you think about how unpredictable the results are it is already totally discredited) and SpeedForm is the basis of assessment.
I approach each race with no bias, no preconceived belief in the favourite or the in-form jockey. I make the evaluations from the extensive database (of ten years, culled at intervals but archived for reference) and rate the horses according to their figures. Once this task is complete I study the speed history of the runners and overlap the mathematics with the possible variables of the field as assembled. Speed margins may often not be great enough to offset some other impediment on a given day. This is also taken into account. Different race scenarios are discussed in detail in the comments for each race and advice is given with regards to the rated runners.
Speedratings does not seek the obvious (and how many obvious favourites fail? I see the crumpled tickets at their feet and scowls upon the faces of those punting on the short-priced obvious failure.). Speedratings consistently selects winners at fantastic odds. Since we have crossed over into cyberspace we have selected Lord Luskin at $62.00; Lucky Rule at $40.00 and winners paying in excess of $10.00 too numerous to mention (as well as a quadrella of $1600 plus in first rated or recommended selection). Our comprehensive Results page is riddled with long priced winners. We select horses that pay more for the place than did the winner of the same event. Speedratings provides exceptional value whether you are betting for the win, place, or seeking help to snare the riches of an exotic selection.
It is possible to win betting on horseracing. I have done so for many years. I treat racing as a business (though it is no less enjoyable for me than it is for you). I do not bet outside of my realm of knowledge. I do not win every race or every meeting-such a claim would be ridiculous. But I do win every year.
The concept of Speedratings is to produce a Speed Guide for the use of the racing devotee. It can be used as your sole criterion for selection, or you may wish to incorporate Speedratings into the process from which you make your own value decision. Either method has merit. At least by taking note of Speedratings you will have given yourself the added information that every serious punter requires. Plus you will find when you weigh the merits of speedratings against the cost of subscription it requires a very small outlay to ensure that you have acquired all the information necessary before you invest on the racing venue for the day.
Each Melbourne Metropolitan meeting will be rated, as will some country meetings that offer an exceptional opportunity. Jumping events and early 2-Y-O races will not be rated. Mid-week meetings and provincial meetings will be rated only when they reach the desired criteria in which Speedratings operate. A mid-week metropolitan meeting would average two to four rated races per day; a mid-week provincial might have only one or two races rated, and these meetings are rated only occasionally.
Subscribers now have sole access to the post-race comments page. This feature of Speedratings identifies many likely winners that win when they next appear in a suitable event. This page of vital information will be published at regular intervals as a reference source to non-subscribers once the information is no longer current. Here is an example:
10/2/99: FLAMING ROBERTO 4TH ($20.90; $4.50) JUST GRABBED ON LINE & DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE RIDDEN TO WIRE, WAS A FANTASTIC EFFORT. SHE WAS REVVED UP TOO FAR FROM HOME AND ALTHOUGH SHE LOOKED WINNER ON HOME TURN IT WAS OBVIOUS (TO ME) THAT SHE COULD NOT POSSIBLY MAINTAIN SUCH A LONG RUN. A PATIENT RIDE WOULD HAVE PRODUCED A PLENTIFUL COLLECT.
Flaming Roberto won easily at her next start in a weak class 3 event and paid $8.40 & $2.40.
Now, you have a basic understanding of the process. I now must ask you to visit every page in the Speedratings chain. Visit the Ratings page and see the ratings and comments from the most recent meetings. Visit our information rich Results page and study the highlights of previous months, click on the underlined horses and go directly to the ratings and comments, then scroll down for the results from the same meeting with post race comments and TAB dividends. Take your time here. Study entire meetings. Gauge the errors against the successes. When you are satisfied that Speedratings has something out of the ordinary to offer you can visit the Subscription page. You will be pleasantly surprised (if you have surfed your way around other services-and I do suggest that you make comparisons on quality and content) when you read our subscription price. (And don't forget the News And Views page that will offer all sorts of information and comments.).
Speedratings costs approximately the same as a daily newspaper. All of our wins and losses are there for the world to see. We sometimes get it wrong, but as you read the comments and results I am sure that you will recognize the merit of the service which we provide. Speedratings is a labour of love and an enterprise in which we take great pride.
