Overview

The System Builder is designed to assist those wishing to find a longer term betting strategy and is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in horse racing systems. It is not aimed at looking at one individual race and pulling out the winner although obviously the knowledge gained can be put to good use in this respect!

The basic principle behind it is simple, but is easily and often confused. Every time a horse runs, information pertaining to it is recorded in our database. With the System Builder you can manipulate this information to suit your needs. Using the simple stages to build your horse racing system you can quickly and effectively answer any questions and finely tune the data to suit your requirements.

Each time you run a query the System Builder will match the criteria you provide against the database and supply you with statistics allowing you to analyse past performance and therefore consider how to treat future runners who have the same criteria. You can check practically anything, but here are three totally random examples.

• Jockeys stats for a trainer at a track the horse has previously won at.
• Favourites record in Handicaps over 5f.
• Odds on shots performance when they previously fell

These are fairly simple statistics but the power of the system builder is its ever-growing flexibility. You can start your system with any criteria and break it down by any combination of categories allowing billions of possibilities.

The hope of course is that you will find a system that is consistently profitable and you can therefore back horses of similar stature in the future with a heightened degree of confidence!

Advice

• An unset category includes all possibilities. There is no point setting a criteria unless you are narrowing. (example - setting Number of Runners to between 1 and 40 is a waste of time and will slower your query as the database will still perform a check).
• For systems you wish to save, if you are checking a particularly complex query or one that contains a lot of qualifiers, narrow the dates. Asking the builder to evaluate hundreds of thousands of rows is nowhere near as efficient as asking it to query 5,000. Try and think in advance what a realistic period of testing is! For example if you are querying a jockey then 6 years data may be needed, if you are querying the performance of horses who won on their last run is it not possible looking back as far as January 2008 would suffice?
• Do not use the fullset/digger functions on combinations that involve backing every horse in any type of race. Example - setting Going as Good To Firm is great but then breaking down by Distance is crazy. What you are effectively asking is "show me how much id have lost backing ALL horses in ALL races with Good To Firm going and break it down by distance". As you can see this is pointless.
• Dont run unneccesary searches, which realistically will not tell you anything.
• Avoid systems which are extremely vague. They are time consuming and ultimately a waste of time.
• Ensure your system could not involve backing every horse in a race.
• Be as specific with your criteria as you possibly can be.
• Only use Fullset when you have to, it takes far longer than using Quickset.
• Read and understand the help and examples before you use the System Builder.
• Contact us for assistance if you are at any time struggling.
• Appreciate that past performance is not a guarantee of what the future holds!

Quickset

The Quickset function is the starting point for your horse racing system building. The categories available are listed with tickboxes next to each. Select as many categories as you know the criteria for and then enter and you will be taken to a form where you can enter the appropriate values by scrolling through each chosen category.
You can use the Quickset function at any stage to add more criteria to your system, the most important thing to note being you MUST know for definite the details you want to set. This is because the Quickset function ALWAYS offers every value in the category range. For example if you are using Quickset to set a Race Distance you will always be presented with the same dropdown values ranging from 5 furlongs to 4 miles 4 furlongs irrespective of what your existing system criteria is.
This of course means if you set an incorrect value your system will be void. Extending the Race Distance example a little can be a good example of this. If you had a horse racing system of backing favourites on the All Weather and then decided to use Quickset and add in a Race Distance of 4m4f, it would let you and therefore your system would be void (as there are no races of this type ran on the All Weather).
The huge advantage of Quickset is its speed, as the database does not have to match your existing criteria with the selection options. Therefore using Quickset requires knowledge of what type of query you are building and what criteria you want to add. If used incorrectly Quickset will lead to void queries.

Comments -

• Any categories that are already set are excluded from Quickset selection.
• Quickset is significantly faster than any other option and should always be used if possible.
• If you definitely wanted to add a particular jockey to your system criteria, use Quickset Jockey.
• If you are sure you want to set tracks Kempton and Leicester, use Quickset Tracks.
• If you are unsure which criteria you want to add, do not use Quickset.

Fullset

The Fullset function takes you to a breakdown of your existing system criteria by desired category. Only options with qualifiers matching your criteria are displayed along with performance statistics for your analysis.
This means you can have any set of existing system criteria and show a performance breakdown by the different types of value within chosen category.
When using the Fullset function it is essential you use common sense and avoid running irrelevant or pointless queries. If you do the database may not even return values to you as there are millions and millions of records requiring manipulated, sorted and displayed within a short space of time.
The undisputed advantage of Fullset is the detail. The database lists only valid options and provides you with knowledge and insight before you decide what to do next. It is extremely useful for quickly displaying powerful statistics and showing which types of any chosen category are performing best.

It should be avoided when your existing criteria is vague, so setting your start criteria as UK and then using Fullset Track is a complete waste of time as the database is searching for stats based on backing every single runner in the UK and breaking them down by track!

Comments -

• Fullset is considerably slower than Quickset and should be avoided if you know what criteria you want to add.
• If you have already set values for a category, you can use Fullset again. This can be very useful in the building process. Example - you start with criteria of 2 particular Jockeys but after adding several more categories need to check again if either performs significantly worse.
• If you want to breakdown your existing system specification by trainer, use Fullset Trainer.
• If you want to see which tracks your system performs best at, use Fullset Tracks.
• If you know that you want to narrow the system to a known specific criteria, do not use Fullset.

Runs, Win, Place & Strike Rate Form options

• Horse (Any) indicates form in all previous races regardless of race type or conditions.
• Horse (Class) indicates form in all previous UK races of same class or higher as the days race (for example in a class 3 race, any previous runs in Class 1,2 or 3 would be taken into account). In this test Irish races are always treated the same as they do not have a class structure in place. This means if you are including Irish form and are using this category the test is based on all previous wins in Ireland.
• Horse (Distance) indicates form in previous races over same distance as that days.
• Horse (Going) indicates form in previous races over same going conditions as that days.
• Horse (Jockey) indicates form in previous races when the jockey riding that day was on board.
• Horse (Trainer) indicates form in previous races when sent out by that days trainer.
• Horse (Track Distance) indicates form in previous races ran over the same distance and track as that days. It is important to note only form in the same category is taken into account for the track (Therefore if it was an AW race at Lingfield and horse previously won on Turf there it wouldnt count).
• Horse (Course Direction) indicates form in previous races ran over a course of the same direction as that days.
• Horse/Jockey/Trainer (Odds) indicates form in previous races where starting price was within 5 points of that days. The range included will vary depending on the starting price with a point being judged as movement in the scale of possible odds (created by including all staring prices in the database since 1997.. An example of this would be for a SP of 10/1 any previous runs when SP was 7/1, 15/2, 8/1, 17/2, 9/1, 10/1, 11/1, 12/1, 14/1, 15/1, 16/1 would be included in the test.
• Horse (Handicap+non) indicates previous form in the same race type as today (type being handicap or non-handicap). It is important to note the test is strictly defined to handicap or non-handicap depending on that days race type. For example a horse running in a handicap hurdle with a strike rate of 100% in this test could be based on a previous run in a flat Handicap.
• Horse (NH Race types) indicates previous form in National Hunt race types (hurdle, chase, nh flat or none of these) of the same category as todays. For example if you set Placings as between 3 and 5 your query would be limited to horses who had placed 3, 4 or 5 times in the same type as the run being judged.
• Horse/Jockey/Trainer (Track) indicates previous form at the track in same race category. It is important to note only form in the same category is taken into account for the track (Therefore if it was a flat race at Sandown and horse previously won over jumps there it wouldnt count).
• Jockey/Trainer (2 Yr) (14 Day) indicates form of the jockey or trainer in the specified period. The test always relates to the period of time immediately prior to the run being judged.
