On every www.betturtle.com race card each horse is assigned a pick ranking. This is calculated from the aggregate values of the horseshoe ratings assigned to each horse.
Pick ranks with the green and amber colours are the ones BetTurtle believes are the horses most likely to win in a race.
The table above shows statistics for the pick ranks for the past 2 years.
Betting on every pick ranked horse will lose you money based on the Return On Investment (ROI). This is because bookmakers and exchanges need to make a profit and reduce odds or charge commission to achieve this. Therefore, a more selective approach is required.
Bettors are advised to use the pick rankings as a guide to quickly identify races they want to bet in. The rankings can help form a shortlist of horses worthy of further study using other BetTurtle features and data.
This will help improve chances of generating profits.
From the table, it is clear that horses ranked 1, 2 and 3 have the highest strike rates and the best ROI and are the ones to focus on. Depending on the race, such as large field handicaps, higher ranked horses should also be considered.
Use Filters To Automate Race Cards
Using BetTurtle filters, it is easy to filter race cards to only show a range of pick ranked horses, for example horses ranked 1,2 or 3.

Conclusion
