Dear Friend

Here are....

Most sports betting guides use ratings to compare horse performance; for example the Racing Post ratings are based on various different factors such as, speed, ability, recent form, etc.

The Postdata table compares all the horses in a race, the idea being, punters can quickly assess one horses merits over another, thus allowing them a quick way of identifying likely winners.

Unfortunately the punting masses fail to appreciate that this is really only a starting point and should not be taken too literally.

Often after looking into the top horse’s race history it can become apparent that it has a limited chance.
