For example if you bet 2 on each of the 100 Qualified Horses your total amount wagered would be 200 If35 of the Qualified Horses won paying an average of 4 to win you would have received payoffs totaling 245 This means your Win ROI Percentage would be 22 596 because you would have a net profit of 45 on a total wager of 200 The AND OR option is very important If you have this set to AND it means that the Factor Set will only be considered qualified if it yields both the Minimum Win Percent AND the Minimum Win ROI Percent The OR setting means the Factor Set will be considered qualified if it meets either the Minimum Win Percent OR the Minimum Win ROI Percent The AND setting will produce far fewer Qualified Factor Sets than the OR setting Minimum In the Money Percent A Factor Set will be considered Qualified 1f the Qualified Horses finished in the money at or above this minimum setting In our example if 70 ofthe 100 horses that qualified for this factor set finished 1 2 or 3 in their races then the Factor Set would be qualified if you have the Minimum ITM Percent set at 70 or lower This is very important The Minimum ITM Percent is always an OR minimum setting This means if the Factor Set did not pass either your Minimum Win or Minimum ROI Percent but it did pass your ITM Percent then the Factor Set would be considered qualified Tip If you want to only have Factor Sets considered qualified b

195. T BRIS race class ratings are more precise than simply comparing claiming prices or comparing conditions of allowance races NW 1 NW2 etc For example Two 30 000 claiming races will generally have different BRIS race class ratings This is because BRIS calculates the race class rating based on the class ratings of the horses that actually ran in the race The BRIS race class ratings thus become a more precise rating within a general class rating These ratings will not necessarily correlate with for example a rise from a 30 000 claiming race to a 40 000 claim ing race Indeed the BRIS race class ratings may show that a horse appearing to take a rise in class may actually be dropping against the horses actually running in the race This can provide you with a powerful edge over the general public 23 Race Good The highest race class rating ofthe horse s good races in its last 5 races 24 BRIS Class The BRIS class rating assigned to this horse based on recent performances 25 True Class The BRIS class rating assigned to this horse based on recent performances in races run at the same distance category and on the same surface as today s race 26 ACL average competitive level The BRIS class rating assigned to this horse based on recent good performances Positive numbers indicate the races evaluated were true 1 e the same distance category and surface as today s race A number preceded bya minus sign indicates the
