Or know where I can access it? I have started to collect some, but it is really hard work!!! regards, DaveThey are put up as a "Timeform 1-2-3", not a "Timeform top-rated 1-2-3".They are (I infer from context) intended to be the three horses most likely to win the race.Looking at the link you mention makes this clear I think: the betting.betfair articlehttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552528543#552528543They are put up as a "Timeform 1-2-3", not a "Timeform top-rated 1-2-3".They are (I infer from context) intended to be the three horses most likely to win the race.Looking at the link you mention makes this clear I think: the betting.betfair articleTue, 08 Aug 2017 10:48:48 -0500Why not list them alphabetically then or by colourWhat is the point of putting a top 3 up Whether you believe they are "ratings" or notThey are put up as TF top rated 1,2,3https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552527937#552527937Why not list them alphabetically then or by colourWhat is the point of putting a top 3 up Whether you believe they are "ratings" or notThey are put up as TF top rated 1,2,3Tue, 08 Aug 2017 09:20:18 -0500@madhattersI'd expect them to calculate them into the 1-2-3I'd not expect them to calculate them into a horse's ratings (any more than they are included in the OR or the RP rating) so the 1-2-3 won't necessarily map to the top-3 rated.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552527759#552527759@madhattersI'd expect them to calculate them into the 1-2-3I'd not expect them to calculate them into a horse's ratings (any more than they are included in the OR or the RP rating) so the 1-2-3 won't necessarily map to the top-3 rated.Tue, 08 Aug 2017 08:56:11 -0500You would think that TF would have calculated all those points into a top 3Look on the exchange toolbar next to tradefair & they give their 3 best bets for the dayThey equate to the top in each race on BF racecard& no they ain't profitable to followhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552527655#552527655You would think that TF would have calculated all those points into a top 3Look on the exchange toolbar next to tradefair & they give their 3 best bets for the dayThey equate to the top in each race on BF racecard& no they ain't profitable to followTue, 08 Aug 2017 08:37:24 -0500@madhatters wouldn't make sense for the 3 top-rated to be the 1-2-3- they might be running at sub-optimal distance- they might be running on sub-optimal going- they might be out repeatedly with short breaksNot sure I understand what you mean by this:https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552527599#552527599@madhatters wouldn't make sense for the 3 top-rated to be the 1-2-3- they might be running at sub-optimal distance- they might be running on sub-optimal going- they might be out repeatedly with short breaksNot sure I understand what you mean by this:Tue, 08 Aug 2017 08:30:10 -0500Does seem a bit smoke & mirrors if there top 3 rated on BF are not there top 3 in orderThe 3 highlighted under BF tips & previews are the top rated number 1 under BF racecardAs looky says - other viewers would be pretty miffed also if they were puttihttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30910749/timeform-profitability?post_id=552527587#552527587Does seem a bit smoke & mirrors if there top 3 rated on BF are not there top 3 in orderThe 3 highlighted under BF tips & previews are the top rated number 1 under BF racecardAs looky says - other viewers would be pretty miffed also if they were puttiTue, 08 Aug 2017 08:27:53 -0500@onlooker: Confirmed as you suggest - the TF 1-2-3 are absolutely *not* the 3 top-rated horses in rating order.
