Speedratings is Australia’s best alternative formguide for thoroughbred racing in Melbourne and Sydney. Full of unique information that gives subscription clients a winning edge. Not only do you receive a comprehensive easy-to-read assessment of the speedfigures of the competing horses, but in addition clients receive a weekly newsletter that highlights the best speed races that follow from the past weekend.
Access to information - as opposed to confusing and differing opinions - makes The Speedguide an essential addition for any serious punter.
21/11/2009: Sensational performance by Speedratings. Our one (and only) best bet for the day Custodian won easily @ $4.20 ($5.00 MaxiDiv) and was supported from over $7.00 on TAB's with 5 minutes of betting remaining. But to top it off our top selection in the feature race the Eclipse Stakes Bashful Girl (speed best - 2nd best recent speed) won @ $18.80 ($19.90 MaxiDiv). Other winners were: Umanugget (2nd best speed) @ $3.50; Tariks (best speed -speed best ) @ $4.60; North East Smile (2nd best speed) @ $3.00 & Sheedy (speed 2nd best) @ $3.40. Where else can you consistently find top rated winners such as Bashful Girl and Custodian? Tempo of all races is taken into account when the Speedguide is being complied. Why waste money on speed maps when this is incorporated into the Speedguide anyway? Without the use of speedratings you are only fooling yourself if you think you have sufficient information to make an informed decision on horse racing.
16/09/2009: Huge performance by Speedratings from a
selected 4 race Speedguide for Sandown Hillside today.
Winners were: Devil May Care @ $42.70 (Best speed & 2nd
best recent speed - best recent speed Whiston ran 2nd and
the exacta paid $188.90). Also Definitely Ready @ $1.60
(2nd best recent speed). Comments from the Speedguide:
Devil May Care (2nd best recent speed) flies & has
competed against Eagle Falls & Secret Flyer at her past
2 starts. She should take a lot of catching here.
27/6/2009: Only by using The Speedguide could you
know that Take The Rap @ $7.30; Pacino @ $5.60 & Gran
Sasso @ $4.00 had best recent speed for their races. Only
through The Speedguide could you know that Gran Sasso
(1st); Allied Force (2nd behind Gran Sasso and paying $3.20
for the place) & Pacino (1st) were the horses who
recorded the top 3 last start speedfigures for this entire
meeting. Only The Speedguide can provide you with this
unique information.
14/3/2009: Brilliant performance from
Speedratings. Winners were: Zarock @ $5.40 (top rated with
2nd best speed profile); Iamzeus @ $3.50 (2nd best recent
speed); Renewable @ $2.70 (top rated - best recent speed);
Fifth Avenue Lady @ $3.30 (top rated - best recent
speed/best recent speed for this entire meeting); Wilander
@ $2.50 (top rated - best recent speed) & Pinnacles @
$4.50 (2nd best recent speed). In addition Grand Destiny @
$16.30 had best speed profile for his race. Clients also
received bonus Sydney speedfigures for 5 races which
resulted in: Manhattan Rain @ $2.40 (best recent speed);
Bhutane Dane @ $4.50 (2nd best recent speed); Headway @
$4.90 (2nd best recent speed) & in the feature of the
Royal Randwick Guineas Metal Bender @ $23.70 (2nd best
recent speed). Mic Mac had best recent speed - making Metal
Bender the best of the locals.
7/03/2009:
Huge
performance by Speedratings. Winners rated in top 2 speed
selections were: Niconero @ $14.40 (best recent speed);
Scenic Blast @ $12.50 (best recent speed); Heart Of Dreams
@ $3.80 (best speed profile); Rostova @ $2.20 (2nd best
recent speed); Gallica @ $3.20 (2nd best recent speed);
Delyara placed @ $8.20 (2nd best recent speed). The Group 1
feature races of Newmarket Handicap; Cadbury Guineas &
Australian Cup, were won by the horses with best speed
performances. Without the use of speedfigures you are
merely guessing.
WHY
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SPEEDRATINGS:
Speedratings is a
niche service provided to the racing industry. It has been
in successful operation for more than 10 years.
The client base comes primarily from within the racing
industry, or from word-of-mouth recommendation by long time
clients.
Speedratings provides information you cannot acquire from
anywhere else. It has never been successfully copied.
Have a look through the highlights over the past many years
and see for yourself if Speedratings can provide you with
the information that is necessary to truly understand the
facts behind racehorse performance.
Flemington
Spring Carnival 2007 (4 days):
Speedratings rated 34 races.
9 winners were top rated. A $1.00 investment on all top
rated horses (34 races) returned $64.00. A $100.00
investment on all top rated Speedratings horses during the
week of the Flemington Melbourne Cup carnival would have
returned a profit of $3,000.00.
The winners who were top rated and/or who had best recent
speed performances were:
Soleil @ $18.00 (top rated & best speed profile)
Flash Trick @ $16.60 (top rated & best recent speed)

THE SPEED FACTOR
Since 1998 Speedratings has provided a quality alternative
form guide for the Australian horseracing fan.
Over this time many influential racing identities have used
this information as a tool for their punting and also as a
means to plot and plan a campaign for their horses.
The speed data supplied to clients clearly identifies the
fastest speed performances (for each race) during the past
24 months and importantly the fastest recent speed
performances (from the past 4 runs).
Speedratings identifies the fastest and fittest horses
engaged at each race meeting.
The
speedguide is the alternative and essential form guide for
the racing enthusiast. While other punters ponder over the
usual racing summaries and selections, the users of the
Speedguide have access to unique information that provides
the insight so lacking in traditional formguides. On one
level the speed profiles can be used similar to Timeform
Ratings determining the class of the horse. On a secondary
level the recent speed performances indicate both fitness
and how individual horses are progressing against their
benchmark best speedfigures. Better knowing this than the
usual confusing comments regarding a horse running a good
third at Bendigo or fifth at Flemington.
With all the known variables in horse racing, comparisons
are extremely difficult to make. The only constant can be
the speedfigures measuring the fastest and the fittest
horses.
In
addition clients have access to the weekly emails that
identify the best speed events of the previous week from
metropolitan & provincial Melbourne, Sydney &
Adelaide. This update allows clients to use this unique
information on Interstate and Victorian provincial events.
History of Speedratings
In
the mid-eighties to early nineties I was employed as a
pedigree expert by the premier thoroughbred sales and
auction house in Victoria (Dalgety Bloodstock-since taken
over by William Inglis & Son).
Much
of my research involved preparation of pedigrees that
involved International bloodlines. While studying the
breeding and racing scene in the USA I became interested in
the traditional US practice of speedratings.
These concepts could not translate easily to Australian
conditions and over the next many years I began adapting,
reworking and rethinking the concept with regards to
Australian racing.
Ultimately this study led to Speedratings
(www.speedratings.com.au) which is a construct of pure
speed analysis and speed class analysis. In effect it
incorporates two fundamentals: speed and class.
Speedratings has published and proven very successful since
1998. It has always been the intention that Speedratings
(through the speedguide) would become the viable
alternative form guide for Australian punters.
