Wizard MATRIX Report - The first 21 weeks fully analysed
In addition to posting the daily results summary of the Wizard's ratings options, and Report-content, we also publish longer-term summaries. Today, the expanded summary covers the first 21 weeks of the operations of the Wizard MATRIX report.
The MATRIX report integrates content from the Wizards other special purpose reports (Essentials, Watch, Raceday, Magic) and, in doing so, produces a multi-factor assessment that incorporates ratings/form/betting into one rating, MaxR.
We also recognize that some punters simply do not have all the form-analysis skills, access to all the required information, AND the time available to fine down the wagering options to those that will involve a manageable number of bets and, at the same time, maximize the win strike rate. We address this issue by highlighting in Matrix a number of Selective Betting Options.
For example, we found that Matrix selection combinations that focused on runners highlighted by WRat, MaxR, and EOdds, delivered superior win strike rates. The table below allows you to compare the traditional single rated assessment to these combined options.
The table details the results achieved by runners rated by Wrat (the Wizard rating), the Raceday qualifier, the MaxR 100, and MaxR top-two runners, as well as the Matrix Selective options. Shown for each are the number of qualifying races and the win strike rate.
With respect to Matrix Selectives, there are three qualifying options included:
W1+MaxR100 = Wizard Wrat 100 (W1) and Matrix MaxR 100
*EO+MaxR100 = *EOam and Matrix MaxR 100
W1+*EO+MaxR100 = Wizard WRat 100 (W1) and *EOam and MaxR 100
Over the period under review the Matrix report has rated, analysed, and reported on, more than 6,900 races!
There is one basic Matrix report, which is posted to the everyrace website twice on race morning (to allow for scratchings to be processed).
- around 10:30am
- around 12 noon (updated)
There are three variations of the Matrix report.
- Wizard Matrix (First Four)
- Wizard Matrix (Full Field)
- Wizard Matrix (Abridged)
Matrix day-by-day results for Thursday and Friday racing
The tables show the results for the past eight weeks for the day on which racing occurred. So, today being Thursday, this Matrix DOW (Day of Week) report covers the past eight Thursday and Friday results. The day-after results are included so that they are available on race-eve, rather than only on race morning.
(The daily Matrix report aims to assist subscribers contain the number of bets to manageable proportions and improve the strike rate. The report is posted to our website between 10:30am and 10:45am each day with an update at 12 noon.)

Wizard Ratings, Raceday, Matrix, and Selectives 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.
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, the Matrix W1-MaxR100 qualifier, and the Matrix W1+*EO+MaxR100 qualifier. The dated columns show the overall results for last week and the last four weeks. 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 alternative options with respect to possible Matrix Selectives combinations, as well as weekly summaries. These combinations are accessible via the Wizard MATRIX report which is posted to our website between 10:30am and 10:45am 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).
