The Curtis Ratings System

The Pass It on Rating System

The Pass It On rating system offers you the chance to assess each horses form and to produce your own simple but accurate ratings

And daily newspaper or specialist racing paper can be used to operate this method. The online sporting life race cards are ok also.

This method originated from a method devised over 80 years ago by one of the first professional punters, and as far as I am aware the method has been in constant use by a few fortunate people since its introduction all those years ago. I believe that this rating system has more than stood the test of time!

The rating system has only ever passed on by word of mouth; in fact any interested parties were invited then at the sole discretion of the originator of the plan, along a series of presentations, paying a huge fee for each session.

They were very successful and these very fortunate people who attended went on their way armed with their new found knowledge and beat the bookmakers for many years to come

SELECTION METHOD

This system can be used with equal success during both the flat and national hunt seasons

All meetings are considered, but eliminate the following types of races:

Selling, Apprentice, Ladies, National Hunt Flat

All other types of races now qualify for consideration

Once we have our short list of races to concentrate on, take each race in turn and award form points for the last three running’s of each horse

THE FORM POINTS ARE AS FOLLOWS

RUN	LAST OUTING	LAST BUT ONE	LAST BUT TWO
WIN	9	6	3
SECOND	6	4	2
THIRD	3	2	1

EXAMPLE

HORSE A	012	FORM RATINGS	0 + 6 + 6 = 12
HORSE B	113	FORM RATINGS	3 + 6 + 3 = 12
HORSE C	001	FORM RATINGS	0 + 0 + 9 = 9
HORSE D	113	FORM RATINGS	3 + 6 + 3 = 12
HORSE E	212	FORM RATINGS	2 + 6 + 6 = 14
HORSE F	001	FORM RATINGS	0 + 0 + 9 = 9

As you can see Horse E is clear top rated with 14 form points

On the occasions when more than one horse is rated the same, take the horse with the shortest price in the betting forecast as your selection. Repeat the above procedure for all the qualifying races.
