Important enhancement to the Matrix report - Colour Coding key information
The Wizard Matrix report is proving to be tremendously popular with subscribers. No surprise really, as Matrix really consolidates so much vital information into one easy-to-access report.
That said, I do recognize just how busy it can be on race morning to complete one's race analysis and finalise the day's selections.
To make it easier for you to quickly identify key information in Matrix we are colour coding even more content.
From today, the horse-name of the three Matrix Selectives options is colour coded for easy identification. I know from personal experience that in the race-morning rush a runner can be overlooked, and a winner missed. That need not be the case now.
The horse-name of the Selective option is colour coded as follows:
- W1+*EO+MaxR100 = GREEN
- W1+MaxR100 = BLUE
- *EO+MaxR100 = YELLOW
For some time now we have colour coded other key information in Matrix.
For example:
- The top-two WRat runners
- Form Cycle history
- Filter and Negatives qualifiers
- Trainer and Jockey outperformers
- Overnight and race-morning EOam firmers (by 3% or more)
Today, I hope the team will complete the programming of the colour coding so that by tomorrow we will also be coding the top-two MaxR runners and the Raceday qualifier.
Here is a Matrix meeting for today with the new colour coding.

Matrix day-by-day results for Friday and Saturday racing
The tables show the results for the past eight weeks for the day on which racing occurred. So, today being Friday, this Matrix DOW (Day of Week) report covers the past eight Friday and Saturday 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).
