For those wishing to dig deeper into the Ratings Suite than what our web based, 'at-a-glance' Meeting Quick Guides can cater for, we have a Desktop Ratings and Analysis software package available. This is a highly detailed package suitable for 'form students' who like to look at each individual past-run and understand how it contributes to the overall picture. Total cost is $165 per month for all TAB meetings and also includes access to the Punting Form web based Meeting Quick Guides ratings Suite (i.e. $88 per month for the MQG web access and an additional $77 per month for the Desktop Software license).

Due to the detailed nature of this package, a 'one on one' set-up and training session is included with your first subscription. Screen shots along with brief feature descriptions follow.

ABettorEdge RaceDay application: Individual Runner, Rating Chart Windows

 

Relative run rating charts with the zero or 'required' line indicating the rating performance typically required to win todays race class. Below the line indicates a better or stronger performance than that required today. The horizontal bar represents the runners average run rating, a long vertical line indicates a spell, a short vertical line a let-up, rectangular markers are qualified runs, oval markers are un-qualified runs and marker colour coding represents track condition. For the examples shown above the 'T' box indicates we are charting relative time ratings and the 'A' box indicates that all runs (qualified or not) are being shown.

ABettorEdge Ratings Analyser application: Main Window

This software accompanies the RaceDay application and can be used to analyse historical rating and form data over an extensive period of time and races (data from 1/10/2007 onwards is supplied). Some users find it useful to identify 'strong' form criteria for use in manual form-study, while others develop and save stand-alone 'system' style filter sets to pinpoint (list) runners which meet the exact filter criteria on race day. The filter string shown in the example above is going to test the entire database for runners which meet the criteria; (fast, good or dead going and race sectional form index greater than 49 and sectional time rating rank less than 3)……with filter results further sorted and displayed by 'run style'.
