The best football team's / darts player get beat now and then.

What are horse systems ?

When people think of horse systems they generally think they are hugely complicated & contain 100s of different criteria which some may do but in reality a horse racing system can be very simple. Have you every followed a certain jockey at a track or a trainer when they only have one runner that day ??? well that in itself is a simple horse racing sytstem. Example Jockey A rides for trainer A at track A. Now everytime the afore mentioned happens the horse will become a selection for that system. If all 3 criteria isnt met there it will not become a selection.



How many systems is there ?

Currently there is 9 systems. 4 HSB horse racing systems and 5 members systems running on site. This amount is likely to change as new systems are added.



What are speed ratings based on?

The HSB Speed ratings are formulated by looking at key stats and assigning points to horses ( some of which can be found below ) according to how they have performed over each stat. The system will run 20+ different scenarios across all races the horse has taken part in within 1-2 furlong either side of todays race distance.

Jockey, Trainer & Stallion Ratings

The jockey, Trainer & Stallion ratings work in similar ways, They assign points by looking at the strike rates of how each performs at the track, distance & going. 1 year & 2 year stats for stallion & 14 day and 30 day form for jockey & trainers. The overall rating is then ran through the HSB formula using the above stats and some special levellers because trainer/ jockey A may have had more runs than trainer/ jockey B so we need to bring the ratings into line without any outliers.



What is Today Rating

The today rating looks at all of todays race criteria and assigns points based on perfomances before being ran through the HSB rating formula.

  • Distance
