SUMMARY
The weight versus speed battle – Part 2
THE KILOS KILLER
In last month's issue my colleague Ted Davies talked about the battle between speed ratings and weight ratings, and quoted the Melbourne expert Paul Segar's interesting views on the merits of Speed Ratings handicapping.
Somehow, I think that the average Australian punter would be better off to stick with Weight Ratings, if only for the fact that they are more easily worked out. But there's more to my reasoning than that.
SUMMARY
The battle between speed and weight
HEAD-ON CLASH
There has always been something of a battle between form analysts over the respective value of picking horses by Class & Weight Ratings or by Speed Ratings. There are good and bad points about each.
The 'war' will probably never be fully resolved. Here in Australia, and to a lesser extent New Zealand, serious punters make far more use of the Don Scott 'class and weight' handicapping approach than they do of speed-rating each horse.
