Bet Selector Horse Ratings
Bet Selector's
horse ratings system for generating horse ratings for past races have undergone
major changes over recent decades. These changes are outlined below:
- Improved Time Ratings 2009: Before 2009, Bet Selector
could only rate past runs at just 50 of the major tracks (and even for some
of them it was just a close approximation). From 2009, Bet Selector was
improved to accurately rate past runs at all track conditions and distances
from over 700+ tracks including New Zealand and Hong Kong.
- New Class Ratings in 2018: Before 2018 Bet Selector
only included its time based ratings. These were improved in 2018 and at the
same time a completely new set of class
ratings were introduced.
- New Weight Ratings in 2021: In 2021 a completely new
set of weight
ratings were introduced.
In addition to the above, all ratings were improved by the introduction
of automatic jockey ratings in 2020 and substantially improved race class
values in 2023. As a result of these improvements top rated strike rates
have progressively increased over the years from around 22% before 2019 to
over 25% for the time ratings, 26% for the class ratings and 27% for the
weight ratings.
