My first experience with a computer data base was when I worked for Don Scott and Warren Block in the late seventies. Prior to that, everything had been done with index cards, a very laborious job. In the late eighties I built my own “state of the art” data base, which today would look akin to an Atari game player. Over the years I have seen many updated and very sleek editions, operated and designed by some great statistical and racing minds, but I have to say, for the genuinely interested race player, whether punter or trainer, the Ratings2Win Axis database is in another league to anything I have seen available to the general public. It’s attention to detail is outstanding.

Ratings2Win is the state of the art in Thoroughbred form databases. The user interface is unlike any I’ve seen, gliding seamlessly around linked information. Its facility for interrogation is unparalleled. The team behind this amazing tool seem determined, not only to maintain its cutting-edge status, but to endlessly enhance what is already supreme. I unhesitatingly recommend Ratings2Win to all form students.

Your R2W service is outstanding and you and your punters are impossible to beat, I have the scars.

The advantage I have found that Axis has over its closest competitors is that its functionality as a database is not limited. Adding more queries and having up to date statistical data to reference in real time and by a variety of different analytical factors, gives you not only a quick snapshot but also a more deep perception of what actually drives the results. The up to date and reconfirmed data shown in an easy to read and quickly interpreted manner is both user friendly and seamless, giving you the tools to see the trees amongst a forest of numbers.

I have been using Axis for around 6 years. My favourite tool is the selection analyser. The ability to analyse all selections or bets placed over a period of time across around 100 variables is excellent. This feature has assisted identification of where the greatest profits are in my betting activities, and opportunities to refine selections and staking, assisting to further boost strike rate, POT and most importantly profit for myself and members following my services.

I have been using the R2W Axis database for about 7 years now and am so glad that I made the decision to do so. The high quality speed ratings that it produces are a critical component of my form analysis. The ability to be able study an accurate speed rating combined with the break-up of the first & last sectionals of each race are key to my endeavour of trying to find future winners. I also like the fact that the software allows me to be able to manually change the speed ratings if I feel the need to do so. I would also like to say that the ongoing support provided by Paul & Michal is first class, nothing is too much trouble. I certainly recommend R2W to anyone who is serious about doing the form.

I’ve never been a big ‘stats’ man so at first I was concerned Ratings 2 Win was just going to be a system that crunches ratings, jockey, trainer, track and barriers stats. Whilst I know their system can certainly perform all those stats related tasks, I can assure you that the Ratings 2 Win database is perfect for those who take a more ‘old school’ approach to their form study. R2W allows me to record all my race comments, both for individual horses, a race or an entire meeting in one easy go in their ‘race review’ section. The ability to view the entire horses career runs on one screen is just brilliant. It allows you to sort through the horses wet or dry runs with one click of the button, how they go at this point of their preparation with one button, their runs at the track etc. all with just one click of the button. The R2W database also uses verified race times which is especially important when looking at the times of the first and last section of a race – this is all included. Not to mention barrier trials, you’ve got all that information too. It’s your one stop shop and you will never look back once you start!

Since acquiring the R2W Axis database I have achieved much more clarity in my form assessments. This more than justifies any costs associated with the package. I can only give a glowing report for the database and also to Paul, Michal and the team who are always accessible if any assistance is required.
