A few people have asked me whether I could come up with a rating or betting system so that readers can gauge the strength of my selections and the info I receive. I don't like the idea of telling people what they should stake on a runner but I will be grading my selections with a star rating from now.
* = A horse of this type will usually be a big price and will be viewed as having an outside chance, stakes should be small and bets should be e/w.
** = A horse of this type should be viewed as a strong e/w bet, it will usually be applicable to info horses of 10/1+ which have been received from a reliable source.
*** = A horse holding this rating would be viewed in the eyes of an info source or myself to have a 70% chance or greater of winning the race. I would always look to back a horse with a 3 star rating to win irrespective of price however I wouldn't get too carried away with my stake.
**** = A horse which obtains this rating should be taken very seriously. If it is info then a horse will only achieve this rating if I receive a very strong word and also believe after analysing the card myself that the horse has a shot. The price of four star horses will rarely be bigger than 4/1-5/1 but you should always get a run for your money and I would only ever bet these horses to win and would probably be looking at pretty substantial bets.
***** = You will very rarely see a horse on this blog achieve a 5 star rating but if you do it will be safe to say that I will have a very large amount of money on it.
Hope that helps.
