If that is the case then they are not using a neural network to work out the rating and therefore shouldn't call it as such.

Anyway glad you picked it up.

wrong settings

unsure on that one all that was related to me was the p/money column was calculated on prizemoney won over the last 12 months unlike most services who just give an api for a horses career eg dynamic race-odds column risa i'm led to believe give total p/money won leaving you to divide it by nos of starts for a average didn't discuss the distance column other than them saying the same horse was top rated for the distance column after having one run at 1200 metres ran 2nd last in a maiden now stepped up to a ratings 62 over 1600 didn't ring to query that column they picked it up themselves i'm like you i thought the neurals were based on mathematical computer generated formulas to complicated for anyone to work out even the programmers who knows maybe they are reckon the time algorythm is but after speaking to them i can assure you the p/money isn't at least it's based on last 12 months not career wasted hundreds of hours putting it on a spreadsheet when these two columns are wrong the r+s people are very committed to fixing the problem we are dealing with computers unfortunately am ringing them tomorrow to see the progress am sure the problem will be fixed just not sure how long it could take

hi all
just a quick post to advise members that i've just got off the phone to R+S they have advised me the( $$$) + the (distance) columns are still giving the wrong read but they are still working to solve the issue but unfortunately with an issue like this could not give me an exact date they advised me to ring back wednesday again which i will do it appears only these two columns are interpreting the wrong data they input for some reason the others columns are working fine
cheers
