Race Card details
To the left of the horse name is the race
card number and to the right, the draw number showing the stall each horse will
come out of which is for flat racing only.
The Master column shows the highest
rating achieved in the last twelve months.
The Lto column shows the rating achieved
in the last race that the horse ran in, with the next two columns showing the
rating for the two previous races and the small number to the right of the rating is
the number of days from today that each race was run.
The Avg column is the average number of
these last three ratings.
The M+A column is the addition of the
Master rating and the Avg rating showing up horses with good previous and
current form.
The Cse column is the highest
rating
achieved at the course in the last twelve months.
The Dis column is the highest rating
achieved at the race distance in the last twelve months.
VDW Ratings
The VDW Ratings combine a class or ability
rating and a form rating to help highlight winners in a race.
The Ability rating is found by adding up all
winning prize money won by each horse and dividing this total by the number of
wins to give an average winning prize money rating and by dividing all winning
prize money by 100 and then rounding up or down, a useable number can be
calculated.
For example, if a horse has won four races worth
prize money of £4,500, £7,230, £6,400 and £9,000, you add these all up and
divide by 100 to get 271.3 then divide this by four and round up to get an
ability rating of 68. This would be a far better Ability rating than a horse
running in the same race that had won two races worth prize money of £2,490 and
£3,400 giving a rating of 29
The form rating is simply the addition of a
horses last three finishing positions, using 10 for any position of 10 or worse.
So a horse that finished 6th, 14th and 2nd in its last three races would have a
form rating of 18.
By finding a horse that is top or top three
rated on both, Che Van Der Wheil (VDW), the Dutchman who came up with this
rating system, concluded that you would have a horse that was hard to beat. He
also stated that a horse would increase it's chance if it was also one of the
first five in the betting forecast and that the system will work more
consistently with better class races.
All
columns can be sorted by clicking the arrows under each heading to bring the
best rating to the top and each race card gives you a great overview of a horses
overall and recent speed ratings form for the race and by using the highlighted
ratings to guide you, will show you the most likely winners of the race at a
glance.
Draw Data Tables
The draw data table shows the winning
draw numbers for all races that have been run at the course and distance with
the same number of runners as the race in question, plus and minus three. A race
that has 14 runners will show the draw statistics for all races that had between
11 and 17 runners. The draw number is followed by the actual number of wins from
that draw (stall), followed by the percentage that gives from all races taken
into account.
