mjay I am not sure i would have anything thing worth adding.Current times i would tend to view 111 as a negative perhaps not to chance but more likely to value.When i read vdw followers many appear to be attempting to put numbers to all aspects which is fine if they are making it work for them but my interpretation of vdw was that these play only a small part of the whole.
The consistency rating would be a good example and i would suggest taking your time and having a good think about each of the past three races prior to or certainly as part of the process while formulating the numerical side.Personally i would not concern yourself with what the experts say ,imo this business has none, and Re the self proclaimed vdw experts it does appear to myself that the louder they crow then the less they appear willing to show.!
My own way of working described concisely would be ratings plus profiling ,the former will give a number to indicate a horse of interest but the latter will make the call Re can it be backed and this profiling part has numerous aspects and is the by far the most time consuming and complex part of the process.
