A continuous problem and when i look at a top rated off my own ratings my first question being is the rating relevant to todays ask.? My ideal would be when the rating is obtained over CD in a higher grade contest but this does not occur very often and like most of what we do it normally comes down to a balancing act. !Hi S Sandhog, I am considering changing my format slightly because I have noticed that some of my TOP rated are for a different distance to the race days distances, for instance, Anythingtoday was over 10f and not 12f as today also, Lucky man was over 5f and not 6f as today.
Hi mick, Thank you for your comment, I have all the info at hand but I'm too lazy to use it all, I hope that at some stage it helps other members along the way, It has taken me ages to find out why my 2nd and 3rd top-rated do better than my 1st top-rated, very frustrating.A continuous problem and when i look at a top rated off my own ratings my first question being is the rating relevant to todays ask.?

Whatever ratings we deploy half the job is understanding how to obtain best use from them. I have used my own for the past 15 yrs but i am still learning Re this aspect. !
Very understandable. Because i have long term data Re my own ratings then this enables plenty of investigations but these can prove both time consuming and give false tells. But over the years and very occasionally a little gem can be found plus the important possible cause factor (s) which does justify the effort involved.Hi mick, Thank you for your comment, I have all the info at hand but I'm too lazy to use it all, I hope that at some stage it helps other members along the way, It has taken me ages to find out why my 2nd and 3rd top-rated do better than my 1st top-rated, very frustrating.
