How the guide works

Class ratings first. Betting ideas that follow the separation.

V3 supplies today’s complete rating order. A lead greater than two points creates a win key and exactas around that horse. A lead of two points or less creates co-leaders, not a false standout. Each horse’s explanation names the historical company that supports the rating.
