It's very exciting.....I've just got to program a spreadsheet tomorrow .....it will take me all day at least but it'll be worth it to make rating easier

Sax appeal won ...fav a disappointing run in 3rd ....but still decent rated

2nd and 3rd 😭....beaten by one of the 123 wide rated horses ....😭

8.00 wolv .... 5f so I've prioritised low draws Basholo 124 So obsessed 121 Apache star 132 I've tried small forecasts and tricasts lol 🤣 There are a couple others rated 123 in high draws but I've just picked the lowxdraws

This is perfect example ....I finished rating the 7.00 wolv with 1 min to go ....it was rated Pioerstown 121 Coolaghe. 113 Miss moonshine. 111 Ignac Lamar. 107 And the result ......imaginexwhat could happen in a big hcap at Cheltenham !!!!..I'm gutted at this btw ....look at the tricast 😭....but it will happen again ....it's the big handicaps at chelt that are exciting me ......if ever the biggy is gonna happen I think it's now

Exactly .....I'm taking the performance of the horse then applying the formula and it gives you a rating of how strong the performance actually was and how it compares to the others runners in the race .....it's a real eye opener ....most races are fairly close as you'd expect but every now and again the hccaper makes a big mistake and it jumps out .....it's those I'm hoping to find

I'm just starting work on the maths for the hccaping spreadsheet ....in the meantime I need to test .... 830 wolv. Wonder 175 Sax appeal. 165 Crystal mariner (December run )..160 Wonder is EVs ....value might lie with sax appeal Ew at 8/1 ....I'm only watching how it plays out to see if the maths is correct as so I need a good few test races

Well I've had a breakthrough ....I was playing about and saw something in the figures and realised it was private handicapping ....I stared at the screen for ages in shock ....and now I've got to write a spreadsheet to do the calculations but if I get it right it's got the potential to be incredible ......very exciting ....I'm still in shock tbh.....I've always wanted to private handicap but never quite knew how to go about it ....and now I know !!

Awkward out stalls but ran on well and was just touched off for 3rd ...king of speed won ...unlucky run

Was just bored so taking a look at speed ratings for 830 wolv King of speed 47 Mariento. 51 My brother mike recent 19 best 64 cd poor recent runs ??? Ravenglass. 52 ran poorly both runs at 8f Till it shines. Best 62 recent 45 raced wide Interesting reading ....the fav king of speed is EVs ...but this race is a lot closer than it looks ...my brother mike certainly has the ability to win this but has run two poor races recently ....rossa Ryan is up tonight if that's the key then very dangerous .....ravenglass has run poorly both attempts at 8f ...looks a 7f horse ...till it shines would be interesting over 7f as his figure could be upgraded to 54 ........I'm going to try and Ew bet on mariento at 17/2 for a bit of fun .....will be interesting to see how it plays out 5 PT Ew

Lump sum 2nd at 30/1 ...almost ,.....Ew money 😭

Lump sum ...yes I'm on !! Good luck 🤞

Yes ....thankyou ....just been some huge changes at work and some home stuff ......I just had to work through it as you do ....just keep your head down and you'll always come out the tunnel .....I'm just happy to be able to get stuck in and have some racing fun again ....I must say I've missed it !! ..plus I'm behind with my donations to holiday fund so I'm hoping to remedy that today lol 🤣 🤣

Sorry for the absence ...had a lot to deal with so needed a break while I dealt with things and had to focus elsewhere ,.....but all sorted now so I can focus my attention back on my beloved racing game specially with the Cheltenham festival on the horizon I'm more hungry than ever to get stuck in Anyway ....I've rated the big race 335 newb Fiercely proud. 1135 class 275 Lump sum. 1132 class 280 Secret squirrel. 1125 class 270 Secret squirrel could be anything ....looks the type to possibly improve and may well turn up and annilhate these but at 7/2 in such a competitive race he is absolutely crap value so not for me .....top 2 are priced 30/1 and 16/1 ....so instantly qualify as value bets and are easy selections Ew ....5pts Ew both paddyp 6 places Edit ...I'll try small forecast too ..all 3

It's my computer rating ....the first one is the base computer rating the second is with class ratings and everything else

Paddy power chase leop Nick rockett. 510 total 1122 18/1 Meetingofwater 507 total 1112 18/1 McDermott. 504 total 1106 20/1 Very very difficult 28 runner pin sticker but as it's the only other race that catches my value eye .....the 7 places on offer with sky appeals ....5 PT Ew all 3

Welsh national Fontaine collonges 456 total 1135 10/1 Monbeg genius. 451 total 1131 9/2 Iron bridge. 444 total. 1122 12/1 Stuzzkini 444 total 1120 16/1 5 PT wins top 3....forecasts all 4

Got the family round so just posting my betting slip for tomorrow ...

And in the famous words of tiny Tim .....and god bless everyone 😁

I rated the 3.00 but it's for info only The changing man. 256 total 744 Victorrino. 253 total 740 Trelawne. 248 total 730 Seems to be very close between top 2.....can't really separate so no value at short odds ... One to watch

He's doing like an admin role I think 🤔

335 ascot Favour and fortune 246 total 578 11/1 Our champ. 240 total 574 20/1 Kabral du mathan 236 total 567 5/2 Steel ally. 233 total. 560 11/1 Seems lots of value Ew in top two ....I'll try 5pt Ew both 😀...forecasts all 4

On the run down to Xmas ...yay 😁 430 wolv Beneficiary. 261 total 561 4/1 Khyber crystal. 255 total 546 14.0 Midnightattheoasis. 251 total 545 20/1 This race just caught my eye .....none of them are particularly well drawn which is a worry but beneficiary has a really good rating .....Khyber crystal had been out of form until lto when a fast finishing 3rd suggesting a good run could be coming .....midnight has a lot to do over 5f despite the great price .....I'll try 6pt beneficiary ...4 PT Khyber ....to fill the Xmas expense pot 😁

Don't think I've ever seen one ....maybe on American cards to denote stall ....like #1

Wow ....I'm flattered and humbled.....I bet most weeks for fun so sharing ratings and discussing races is easy and most enjoyable ,....being on the forum gives me the opportunity to test myself and sets me the challenge of growing and improving and I've definitely grown and the ratings have got stronger since I first joined in 2017 ????.... lol .....there are many worthy punters on here and I really enjoy reading everyone's opinions and there are some very skillful people on here which makes getting this award all🎁🎁🎁 the more flattering so thankyou 😁😁 I'll try and post a pic in my forum jumper at the next family get together or outing over Xmas haha 😂
