Rules:
Calculate the top speed horse of the day from Dave Edwards' Stopwatch page on the Sporting Life site (UK meetings only).

The top horse is selected by adding each horse's highest overall rating to its most recent rating, then dividing by two.

In the event of a tie, the selection will have the best finishing position on its last run.

* Please note that Dave Edwards is now responsible for Topspeed in the Racing Post and the required figures are available from there.

Staking:
Stake 1pt for each full 10pts the selection achieves (e.g. a horse with an overall rating of 65 will carry a stake of 6pts. Maximum stake is 10pts.

Logic:
These speed ratings are very good for those who haven't time to calculate their own, and a horse with the highest combined total for the day should be expected to go well, as we are considering its most recent performance as well as its best overall run.

Results based on 5pt wins (50 bets):
Total stakes: 250 pts
Total returns: 281.32 pts
PROFIT +31.32 pts
