that's true but the beauty of my system is that it rates the race by the horses that actually run in it rather than by the race conditions
eg look at Royal Brave in that 3.05 at Ayr
last race - class 3, 0-90 at Ayr
previous race - class 4, 0-85 at Muss
but both those races were '76' on my scale ......... ie the same level despite different race entry conditions. 
Also it's handy if you're using the Post or ATR horse form just to quickly look down the horse's last few handicap races and you can very quickly work out the level of the race from the weight carried and OR
so Royal Brave's last few handicap races - 61, 71, 77, 76, 76 ..... today back to 71
 

Yes, no problem
take the first race - Ayr 3.05
look at the Racing Post  or At The Races race card
you'll see Fast Act, a 5yo, carrying 9-12 and rated 83. So a horse that was set to carry 9 stone, ie 12 lb less, would be rated 71
Royal Brave,m 6yp, carrying 9-10 and rated 81. So a horse carrying 9 stone, ie 10 lb less, would be rated 71
Basically a older horse in this race and carrying 9 stone would be rated 71. So 71 is the value or class of this handicap
 
If you do the same for the Windsor 6.45 you'll find that's a '64' - so despite both being Class 4 handicaps you can 
So despite both being class 4 handicaps one of them is 7lbs better than the other
Of course there are lots of other factors .......... eg, does one of these races have improving horses and the other have horses on the way down ?...........I'm afraid that only comes with putting the study in
I think the beauty of my system is that you are rating each race rather than a course. For example Newmarket holds top class races but also a lot of run of the mill racing, particularly the evening cards. So if you're thinking a horse that ran at Newmarket must be better than one that ran at Beverley you can come unstuck because that particular Beverley race might have been a lot better than the particular Newmarket race

Unfortunately placing the share bar at the bottom, it can only be screen wide, which makes it enormous. Our coder is trying to adapt the share bar with a cookie, so that once you click it away, it will hide for 48 hours.  

I'm a grumpy old sod as well and I don't like those social media buttons constantly appearing
I went to the trouble of finding a way to disable it but unfortunately each disable only lasted until you closed your browser .......... it was back again on re-opening
If a way could be found to make it permanent per visit rather than per page to slide it away by clicking on the two little arrows that would be great !
