Extended Matrix results summary and day-by-day results for Friday racing
Today's table provides an alternative overview of the relative performance of the assessments available through the Wizard Matrix report.
The assessments have been grouped as follows:
Group 1: The top-rated runner/qualifier from the three main ratings options
Group 2: The three Matrix selectives options
Group 3: A head-to-head comparison of the top-two rated runners from WRat and MaxR
Group 4: The results for the top-three and top-four WRat rated runners
Here the colour-coding highlights the distribution of win strike rates across the different Matrix options for the 18 weeks under review, with the analysis concentrating on the single-qualifier assessments.
The trend of results so far is clear: The Matrix Selectives score better than the more restrictive forms of single-qualifier assessment.
Now here are the day-by-day Matrix results for meetings run on a Friday, for the last 6 weeks. This is the sixth of the Matix DOW reports to be published. (DOW = Day of week). So, today being Friday, this Matrix DOW report covers the past six Fridays, March 21 to April 25, inclusive.

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).
