Static Speed Ratings
When viewing form in our form book software you can see dynamic speed ratings on the race card.
Because these speed ratings are static, they are ranked within each race, which in turn means they can be analysed with the system builder.
Here is a screen image of the static speed ratings followed by an explanation of each field
General Rules for all the Static Speed Ratings
Speed ratings of zero ignored
All of the static speed ratings ignore 0 ratings.
This means in races in which horses did not finish (full, pulled up etc.) or were so far back that they did not warrant a speed rating will be ignored for the purposes of calculating the static speed ratings.
Race Types
All of the static speed ratings only look at races that are the same race type as the race you are looking at.
By same race type we mean, if the race you are viewing is a Chase then the static speed rating is the speed rating the horse has achieved in a Chase.
There are 5 race types that the static speed ratings utilise Flat Turf, Flat AW, Jumps Chase, Jumps Hurdle and Jumps NHF.
