RatingTheRaces best Flat Trainer of the 2017 is……

William Haggas

First up, the best Trainer is not necessarily the trainer with the most winner.  Some trainers get a stock of horses worth a fair few million, some have a stock of horses worth a few hundred thousand. It would be like comparing two racing car teams where one was stocked with a bunch of Lamborghini’s and the other was stocking some humble Skoda’s. What represents a great trainer, in our eyes, is a trainer who can train his horses, whatever calibre they may be, and place them in races where conditions they are most likely […]

The Best 5 Courses for our Ratings by ROI

The Best 5 Courses for our ratings by ROI

Part 3 of the Series!

Today we will focus on best course for the Ratings by ROI, and just like last time we can slice and dice this data using our ProStats feature, just for fun.

In case you missed it, we have already explored the best courses by Strike Rate and the best courses by Profit & Loss.

One interesting thing to note is that we end up with 12 different courses sharing these top 5 course blogs, so it certainly is not the same courses each time!

It has taken a while to get here, but finally we are releasing our Analytics feature to query the full RatingTheRaces database.

We don’t need to oversell this feature. We love it. No specialist software required, run it directly in your browser. In fact we have some blog posts built entirely of images generated from this feature.

Melbourne Cup Preview

2017-12-08T12:06:30+00:00November 6th, 2017|

It’s the Melbourne Cup today and here is Liam’s preview!

Almandin:

The obvious starting point to the race as not only is he TOP RATED again but he also won the race last year when TOP RATED. He’s had 3 runs since which included a win at Flemington in September when easily winning a Listed race. Only 4th last time out when sent off the 6/5 favourite he was probably not really going for it as the winner of this race wins nearly 20 x as much prize money!

Frankie has been booked to ride this year and although 10lb higher, if we took out Heartbreak City (who was well handicapped) […]

The best 5 courses for our ratings!

The best 5 courses for our ratings!

Part 1 of the Series!

Now anyone worth their salt knows that ‘best’ means different things to different people, even internally here at RatingTheRaces this can be debated. From my (RTR-Aaron) perspective (as algorithm designer) our algorithm is trained to predict winners, so the ‘best’ courses are those where we can predict the winner with the highest degree of accuracy.

Other ways ‘best’ could be interpreted is by Profit and Loss or by ROI.

So let’s dig into the data, probably worth noting that our Top 5 can definitely change in the future. We can also touch on the worst course for our Ratings algorithm to […]

Sunday at Southwell – RTR Stat of the Day!

2017-12-08T12:08:11+00:00October 20th, 2017|

We have racing back on the Fibresand at Southwell where our ratings generally do well. Here’s an angle to use!

Simply Backing TOP RATED in races at Southwell when their BFSP (Betfair Starting Price) is over 7.00 is very profitable!

Backing all TOP RATED at Southwell where TOP RATED has a BFSP (Betfair Starting Price) of 7.00 or bigger would have seen you currently sitting on a PROFIT of 76.14 points with an impressive 55.98% ROI!

Backing these for £20 a point would have seen a profit of £1,522 to date and hopefully we can increase this on Sunday!

A 15% strike rate does indicate this system will have some […]

Saturday at Ascot – RTR Stat of the Day!

2017-12-08T12:08:32+00:00October 20th, 2017|

Some fantastic racing today most notably at Ascot for Champions Day!

Simply Backing TOP RATED in races at Ascot over 1m2f (10f) or shorter is a very profitable angle!

As you can see, backing all TOP RATED at Ascot in races of 10f or less would have seen you currently sitting on a PROFIT of 148.31 points with a healthy 47.84% ROI!

Backing these for £20 a point would have seen a profit of £2,966 to date and we are hoping we can add to it on Saturday!

The graph is steadily rising and although it has recently had a plateau we are hoping the next increase happens this weekend! […]
