When you have calculated
the score for your horse, multiply by 5 to get a rating out of 100. A
horse rating 100 must have an outstanding chance of winning today.
Without being
over-scientific, if the rating is not over 50, a bet would look risky. It is
also a good idea to rate the other leading contenders in the race to
see how your selection compares.
This is by no means a
definitive method, but it will help highlight the areas of study on which to
concentrate. With a little practice, you will be able to do this
instinctively.
Once
you are happy, it is then time to calculate the value of your bet to see
whether an investment is wise (see Getting
Value)
