Hello bigmazey :) Here's rtf% explained :thumbs

The rtf% is a measure of trainer form.

The rtf% indicates the percentage of a trainer's runners who have run to form based on a comparison of each runners actual and expected rating in each race.

The rtf% figure presents a much clearer picture of a stable's form than the simple win-to-runs strike rate.

That is an excellent timesaving addition to the site.

Anyone know what the figure and letter near the horse name is?

I know that the number immediatley beside the name is the days since its last run, but in these examples (2:10 Down Royal Sat), what do the 5F and 86F figures mean



Adamant Approach28 (5F)


The Fonze93 (86F)

Probably 5 days FLAT......86 days Flat.....since last run...
