What's the best way to use Thorostats Reports?

---

We believe that our selection reports offer something for every level of

handicapper. Beginners or folks who want selections can use the consensus quick

page report for a list of the top selections. Print this report and take it to the track

and you will have a head start on identifying the contenders in each race. You can

then focus your handicapping on these selections with confidence that you are

evaluating the runners who have a greater chance to win their race.

Handicappers who do more comprehensive handicapping for the races will find the

factor ratings useful in identifying class moves and pace contenders that may have

been overlooked using a different method.  Compare our ratings to your software

output to point to longer priced contenders that one or the other methods may

have overlooked. This is a good way to identify an under bet contender for the win

spot.

Use the speed figures in our selection reports as a stand alone tool to identify a

runners form and condition. Our top speed figure runner, over the past three races,

should not be dismissed lightly. This number points to a horse that has proven to

run at a speed above the others in this race. An inspection of current form and

tote board odds will guide you in placing a wager on the top speed figure horse in a

race. Speed figure ratings that are above the race class level indicate a strong

field. Speed figures below the race class level point to a weaker field and as a

result they are less predictable taken by themselves.

Thorostats selection reports provide the information necessary to see the race

shape that is most likely to take place in the running. Look for the runner who will

most benefit from the pace setup for the race. A sustained runner, ranked in the

pace factor, will have a greater advantage when running behind multiple early

style runners who will battle for the lead. This type of race can be determined with

a quick look at the report information.

Trainer, jockey and owner statistics rank the highest percentage of win and place

combinations between the connections. It is very handy to see at a glance the top

combination in the race. You can have confidence that this trainer is trying to win

the race. This is a big part of the handicapping puzzle. You need to know when the

connections show favorable signs for the race their horse will compete. Our

statistics here offer a unique look at the connections that you cannot get from

other information providers.

Our power rating is the combined rating for the thirty plus items of information

that are analyzed for each race. When runners are at a similar class and condition

as their last race the power number will be predictive of the top contenders. In any

race where all of the runners show more that 3 races in the past performance do

not forget to look at the power rating for the contenders. An advantage of more

than 10 points is a very likely pointer to the best runner in that field.
