Matrix results for last 6 Sundays - day by day analysis

I think it may prove helpful for users to see the day-by-day performance of the ratings components of the Matrix report.

To this end, I am introducing a new results table into the daily results update posted on this page.

This new table will show the results for the past six weeks for the day on which racing will occur. So, today being Sunday, the Matrix Six Weeks Overview report posted covers the past six Sundays, March 16 to April 20, inclusive.

When working on this new table I found, not unexpectedly, that the performance of the ratings appears to vary across the different days of the week, and from a punter's point of view this is worth knowing. Betting seven days a week is really quite demanding and having at least one day off is a good idea for most of us.

I hope this new feature will provide subscribers with an overview of past performance and give some indication as to what might be expected on this day of racing. Of course, with the great uncertainty of racing, nothing is guaranteed, and ups and downs are bound to occur.

Here now are the results for the past six Sundays. Again, we can see that whilst the traditional ratings (Wrat) performed well, as did Raceday and the MaxR assessments, the Matrix Selectives still did best overall.

Wizard Freebie - Wizard Raceday report

The Wizard publishes on this page one of its Wizard reports or special features, either completely or a part thereof. Today two meeting from the Wizard Raceday report. The full report and all other reports for all meetings for today are available now for subscribers.

The Raceday report is an important component of the Wizards uniquely successful race-morning MATRIX report whose Selectives consistently outperform traditional rating methodologies.

Wizard Ratings and Raceday and Matrix and Summary Results

We publish these full results daily so that subscribers can see the results of the Wizard's ratings options, and Report-content, and thereby formulate a selecting and betting strategy that suits them individually. The Wizard ratings should not be seen as "tips", rather as objective assessments that can be used to inform one's own judgement as to the relative chances of the runners in a race.

Below are the full day-by-day results for Wizard (Wrat) top 4 rated runners, the Raceday Qualifier, the Matrix (MaxR) 100 pointer, the MaxR top-two, and Selectives: the market-sensitive Matrix *EOam-MaxR100 qualifier, the ratings-focused Matrix W1-MaxR100 qualifier, and the multi-factor Matrix W1-*EOam-MaxR100 qualifier. The (4 weeks) column shows the results for the four weeks prior to the current week and the 2023-2024 column shows the WRat results for the full 2023-2024 racing season.

This results summary is colour coded so that it is easier to track the relative performance of the Top Rated (blue) and Top-Two Rated (green) ratings options on a daily, and longer term, basis. The best overall qualifier (yellow) is also highlighted. The number of qualifying races is included along with the win strike rate. With respect to the best-overall category, a minimum of 6 qualifying races is required to be ranked 

The following table shows this week's results of possible Matrix Selectives combinations which draw on the Raceday, Watch, and Magic reports. These combinations are accessible via the Wizard MATRIX report which is posted to our website around 10:30am each day.

(Key: The first of the two columns for each Selective combination shows number of qualifying races and the second column shows the strike rate. Headings: RWM is Raceday,Watch,Magic,  RWM 2/3 means two or three qualifying, Rday is Raceday report qualifier , Magic is Magic report qualifier, R/M is Raceday and Magic, WR1 is Wrat 100, MR1 is MaxR 100.)

The following table shows where the winner of each race run yesterday was rated by WRat, WMod, WHcp, and WExpk and was the qualifier in the Wizard Raceday Report. (Note: The Wrat [W] winner results report on both the top rated and top-two rated winners.) The Raceday Report winners under the Top Rated column are from those races where there was only one Raceday qualifier, and under the Top 2 Rated on the rare occasions where there were two qualifiers in a race.

Header: WMHER = WRat (W), WMod (M), WHcp (H), WExpk (E), Raceday (R).
