Plenty of racing people still study a race the way they learned on the printed paper: price up every runner, write a note under each horse, and take the marked-up card with them. If that is how you work, every part of it works on My Card.

This is The Thursday Take — our weekly column on RaceMetrics, where we take the topic racing is talking about and put it to the test against the Proform database. No hunches, no hype. Just what the data says. This week's question was sent in by a reader, and it is the one that ends every argument ab...
On Monday evening a member wrote in with a fair question. He has a set of System Builder systems switched on for the morning qualifiers, and what he wanted was an instant report on how they had actually done over the last week, the last month and the last year — and, ideally, something he could post...
Over the last fortnight, trainer form was the most-asked question in the RaceMetrics query box by a distance — 112 asks from 16 different members, roughly a fifth of everything typed. Every single one of them got an answer.

Plenty of form students keep their own notes on horses, price a race up themselves, and rate the winner by hand. RaceMetrics now does all three in the browser, on any device. The video above is what a morning looks like once your method has moved in.

RaceMetrics has added the classic ratings workflow to My Ratings: give each race's winner your own figure, and ratings for the entire field are derived from your own pounds-per-length scale.
How it works
From the My Ratings page, create a new scale by choosing "rate the winner — we rate the rest"....
A reader wrote in through the contact form last week with a question that sounds simple and turns out not to be: what is a sire's place strike rate by the exact number of runners in the race? Not small fields against big fields. Five runners, then six, then seven, each on its own line. He had tried ...
RaceMetrics now accepts imported rating sets. If you maintain ratings in a spreadsheet, model or other software, you can upload them as a CSV file and put them to work across the platform.
How to import
Open the My Ratings panel on any racecard and select "add a scale". Alongside the computed scal...
