Just as an example if all race/horse filters are met:
Grade 6 sire / Grade 6 Dam: Back for 12 points
Grade 3 sire / Grade 5 Dam: Back for 8 points
Grade 4 sire / Grade 1 Dam: Back for 5 points
etc etc or some variation of this?

Still playing with this but because I am concerned with hitting that first win then it does not matter what the horse does after that so if it wins just one race I profit (hopefully)...the rating of sire or dam could play a part in the prediction of the horse having class and going on with further wins...further research needed.
