The Racing Post Ratings System:
The aim is to produce a short-list of potential winners from horses with ability or those showing potential. Both these factors are indicated by the TOPSPEED and/or RACING POST RATINGS in the Racing Post.
The system is very easy to follow, with just five basic steps.
STEP ONE: Note all horses are within two points of the Top-Rated RACING POST RATINGS horse; including those equally rated.
STEP TWO: Exclude any horse is the TOPSPEED Top-Rated on BOTH LATEST and BEST ratings,both ratings being equal; (indicated in bold print).
STEP THREE: Exclude any horse who's Recent Form has an 'X' or a '?' in the box, or an 'X' in the TRAINER FORM box.
STEP FOUR:Exclude horses not in the first three places at least once in last two starts.
STEP FIVE SELECTIONS TO SHORT-LIST: The ovious choice is the only horse not excluded. When more than one remains pick the one is highest rated on the Racing Post Ratings; should there be equals then pick the one earliest named in the Racing Post betting forecast.
