Matrix results for last 6 Tuesdays - day by day analysis for Tuesday racing
This is the third of the Matix DOW reports to be published. (DOW = Day of week)
The table shows the results for the past six weeks for the day on which racing occurred. So, today being Tuesday, this Matrix DOW report covers the past six Tuesdays, March 18 to April 22, inclusive.
It is early days yet, with respect to the Selectives generally, but the pattern seems clear - Selectives consistently outperform traditional ratings and meet the two main objectives of most bettors; contain the number of bets to manageable proportions and improve the strike rate.
Australias "winningest" jockeys last week.

Wizard Freebie - Wizard Raceday report

Wizard Ratings, Raceday, Matrix, and Selectives results and Weekly Summary
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.
The full day-by-day results for Wizard (Wrat) top 4 rated runners, the Raceday Qualifier, and the Matrix (MaxR) 100 pointer, the MaxR top-two, the Matrix *EOam-MaxR100 qualifier, and the Matrix W1-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 for readers 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 following table shows this week's results of possible Matrix Selectives combinations. 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).
