This Free Horse Racing System utilises the information
contained in the Mirror Racing pages.
Eight factors provided by the Mirror make up the rating
process, what we are looking for is a consensus from the factors in order to
provide the best bets of the day. But there is flexibility within the rating
method that enables the backer to pick and choose the type of selection and
odds.
The type of race selected for rating purposes, is as always,
very important but every race type can be rated by this method.
The Eight factors used are Form Figures, Forecast, the Tips
of Newsboy and Bouverie, Strongly Fancied and Fancied
selections plus the EW tip if enough runners, the Spotform
selection and finally the Speed Horse selection for the day.
This Free Horse Racing System allocates points in the
following way……
Free Horse Racing System
First we have the Form Figures, (use current seasons form
only) from the last three runs award 3 points if a horse has at least one win
and 2 places so for example form figures such as 111, 213,112, 311 etc
receive 3 points. (Placed meaning in the first 3)
2 points are awarded for 2 wins from the last 3 runs, the 2
wins can be in any order, 141, 811, 117, so even if the last run was
unplaced but 2 wins came before it, award 2 points.
Award 1 point for a win last time out but previous runs
contain a placed effort and/or unplaced
run, such as, 421, 001, 251 etc.
1 point is given for 3 placed efforts, 222, 232, 333 or
any other combination of place order.
Half a point is given for 2 placed efforts from the last 2
outings.
Half a point is awarded for a win that was not last time out
but in the previous 2 runs and with no placed efforts, 100, 414, 010.
It sounds a little complicated but an example will make
things clear.
The Forecast, 2 points for the forecast Favourite if joint
favourites award both 2 points, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
in the betting each receive 1 point and the 5th in the betting
receives half a point.
The Tips of Newsboy and Bouverie
each receive 1 point and their Naps receive 2 points.
The Strongly Fancied selection gets 2 points whilst the
Fancied selection and the Each Way selections receive 1 point.
The top rated horse (Spotform)
gets 1 point and finally the Speed horse selection for the day receives 1
point.
With the ratings done we have narrowed down the field to
just 2 runners, there is ample room to apply your betting style when selecting
from either the Top Rated or 2nd rated runner.
In essence what we have done is root out the very best of
the Papers selections for the day.
This process provides a structure to ones betting and
although there is no substitute for form study, the Tipsters would have done
this for us.
You can choose to rate every race being run that day or go
straight to your favourite type of race.
Selecting the right type of race is obviously very
important, Non Handicaps with upto 10 runners prove
best for this type of rating.
If you’re a fan of the Placepot,
putting in some of the 2nd and 3rd rated runners can make
a very effective perm.
Here’s an example of the free horse racing system in action.
The Top Rated Cornas received 1
point for being 3rd in the Forecast, 1 point for a win last time
out, 1 point for each Tip and being Fancied giving a rating of 5, French Opera
received 1 point for being 2nd in Forecast, 2 points for being
Strongly Fancied and 1 point for being Spot form Top Rated = 4 points.
TchicoPolos
received only 2 points, being the Forecast Favourite.
It’s interesting to note that only 1 other runner (I’msingingtheblues) gets to within 3 points of French
Opera’s rating of 64.
There seems to be a deal of mixed messages being sent by
thehorse racing system points and Spotform but as Cornas started at
7/1 there could be a case made for backing both the system horses to show a
profit.

Riverside Theatre tops the ratings and this is a good
example of a horse being awarded half a point for its form figures, from his 2
previous runs his win was not last time out so he receives half a point ( if his form figures would have been the other way round 21
he would have received a full point for a last time out win) Forecast Favourite
= 2 pts, 2 Tips = 2pts, SF = 2pts and Spotform top
rated = 1pt.
Tartak was second rated on 4pts, 1
pt for the Forecast and 3 pts for his form figures (just use the highest form
figure point allocation, so in this case Tartak
receives 3 points but not an additional 2 points for 2 wins in his last 3 runs)
Gauvain receives half a point for
that one win.
Note once again that Spotform is
pointing you in the direction of a real form horse in Riverside Theatre, only
Deep Purple gets to within 3 points, but note also an unrated horse in the form of
Racing Demon lurking in the field.

A tight looking race on paper.
Overturn (1 point for Forecast,3 points for form
fig’s, 1 Tip and Fancied + Top Rated) on 7 points just heads Mille Chief on 6
points for top spot. Spotform rate 3 out of the 5
runners with chances on form with Celestial Halo just on the other side of the
radar rated 60.

When assessing a race for rating purposes Spotform is a useful key point, the ratings work best with
well established form (The philosophy of Spotform is
that whatever a horse has achieved in the past it is capable of repeating given
the right circumstances) young horses in their sphere often are poorly rated
because of the lack of evidence which the ratings depend on.
Look for races where less than a third of the field come within
3 points of the top rated horse (ideally just 3 or 4) but be wary of runners
with no rating or with 3 or less lifetime runs.
Because of a lack of space some cards are cut short where
form figures are concerned, check online if you have the time or maybe give the
meeting a wide berth.

systems
