Form Ratings - Platinum
Opening up our data sets!
Form Ratings was originally set up to take lots of Form Factors into account and to apply our secret formulas to come up with a rating for each of our Super Six. This works really well for lots of our members, it means that you can rely on the ratings to make better betting decisions.
With the release of Platinum, we are enabling you to take control of all the form factors for yourself, and utilise them into creating bespoke Platinum Smart Selections, meaning you can make even better betting decisions!
You can see the form factors which we can include on our ‘What data makes up the Form Factors’ page. Each of these individual form factors can be used to create a new system in our new Platinum Smart Selections.
So if you’re looking to find horses running today which meet your own criteria, then this is for you. We have over 100 variables which we can use for you, but to give you some ideas, here’s a few of them:
Race Data includes over 70 different Form Factors including the track, the bends (left or right handed), date, course speed, type of race (handicap/non-handicap), quality of race (which grade race ie group 1, group 2 etc), going, surface, type of fence, number of Course and distance winners, whether it's a festival, age restrictions, prize money, percentage of going winners the race has had.
Horse Data uses over 100 Form Factors including the sex, the age, distance travelled, odds, stall, win and place statistics from previous races, weight, headgear, owner, trainer, jockey comparisons, official rating (and also compared to the race average), Course/Distance winner, favourite status plus loads more
Jockey Data uses over 40 Form Factors including who they are, how many rides that day (and over 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 30 days), percentage win rate, percentage place rate, win/place rate on going, win/place rate on course, weight...

We have put together some examples using the new dataset to provide new Platinum Smart Selections:
Cole Morgan’s rides on All Weather courses - https://www.formratings.co.uk/morgans-rides/
Horses that are running in their first handicap race and are wearing blinkers - https://www.formratings.co.uk/blinking-handicap-virgins/
Horses that came first in one of it’s last three runs, and last run within 5 days - https://www.formratings.co.uk/recent-winner/
Handicap races only, with horses aged between 3-5 years. The criteria for the selection is that the horse lost it’s last race, but was favourite. - https://www.formratings.co.uk/beaten-favourite/
Horses which have either won or come a close second in their previous two races - https://www.formratings.co.uk/won-or-close-in-the-last-2-races/
Those are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing, when you’re ready for us to test your ideas, please fill in this form [https://www.formratings.co.uk/create-new-smart-selection/ ] and we’ll get them done for you.
Remember, this is a completely different dataset than our usual ratings, and so we currently do not blend the two. We are hoping to develop this in the next iteration of Form Ratings Platinum.
