What to look for when selecting a horse racing ratings service!

The 4 main areas to choose the Best Horse Racing Ratings service!

Seems like a strange or biased article for a Ratings service provider to publish right? But once upon a time we were ratings service customers, rather than a ratings provider. Our experiences completely shaped the way we run the RatingTheRaces service today. Below is a short list of things that frustrated us when we were customers of Ratings services and are rules, we subsequently hold ourselves to.

ONLY ONE TOP RATED HORSE PER RACE

Seems obvious right? But so many services have a TopRated, a Top Speed Rated, a Top Course Rated, a white flag, […]

Ante-Post Handicaps – Can I Land Another Touch?

2019-06-27T13:06:19+01:00June 27th, 2019|

Bet365 Trophy

Who do I (Liam) fancy in the Bet365 Trophy at Newmarket

The obvious starting point is Fujaira Prince who made my Royal Ascot Eyecatchers AND I suggested this race as his next likely target before a run in the Ebor later this season. Currently number 27 for this race, I would be surprised if he didn’t get in. He does also hold an entry for the 1m2f Diamond Jubilee Handicap at York the following day but that race wouldn’t really make any sense. He looks like he stays further than 1m4f based on his effort in the Duke of Edinburgh so to see him drop in […]

Liam’s Royal Ascot 2019 Eyecatchers & Targets

2019-06-25T13:59:36+01:00June 24th, 2019|

Here are my Royal Ascot Eyecatchers and where I think they should be targeted at!

Golden Horde – 5th in the Coventry Stakes over 6f

Golden Horde ran a great race for 5th despite looking very green. He tracked the early pace on the far side set by Monoski who faded back to 16th but drifted left and right and required some sharp straighteners from Adam Kirby. The front 3 are all likely to be smart with the hot favourite and TOP RATED Arizona winning suggesting the form should be strong. Golden Horde looks like he will be stepped up in distance sooner rather than later.

Potential Target: […]

RatingTheRaces Interview with Our Form Expert Liam!

RatingTheRaces Interview with Our Form Expert Liam!

RatingTheRaces: Royal Ascot has been good so far (going into day 3) with some big winners found. Can you tell us what made you pick The Grand Visir and Afaak?

Liam: Royal Ascot is going well, guaranteed a profit of 31 points is great and hopefully we can add to that today.

The Grand Visir, I’ve been a fan of for a little while now, ever since he won a handicap at Haydock over 2m. He finished really well that day under James Doyle for William Haggas and demonstrated to me that he was maybe even a pattern class horse.

After a few months […]

3 Out Of 4 Grand National’s predicted by a Statistical Algorithm!

3 Out Of 4 Grand National’s predicted by a Statistical Algorithm!

Not just any old algorithm, it was the RatingTheRaces ratings algorithm!!!

So how on earth does an algorithm, achieve this? Well, as many of you know statistics can be used to predict a lot of things, and in horse racing we can generate A LOT of statistics. Fun fact – did you know the human brain can only consider a maximum of 4 parameters. I know. Stunned. Me too. We all feel smarter than that, but apparently, we simply are not. However, whilst an algorithm does have limitations in terms of numbers of parameters, it is far, far greater […]
