Horse Racing Statistical Route Three - Spotform and Speed Ratings of the Racing Post

Book excerpt: This is a book of statistics using the Spot Form and the Top Speed ratings for horses of the Racing Post. The results are laid out in a set of tables in this book. The first three Spot Forms and the first three Top Speeds ratings taken from each race of the first six races every day; during a period of just over year; 406 days giving a total of 2436 races. To this I also applied 9 different types of bets; singles, doubles, trebles, patents*2, lucky 15's*2, alpha bets and lucky 63's. This included their Each-Way counterparts as well making 18 bets in all. My aim was to find out which application provided the most winners and which types of bets if applied would produce the most profit. This book shows the end results of this research with 16 tables.
