🧭 New “Methods and Systems” Menu Item

The Tomorrow’s Racing page now has a dedicated Methods and Systems shortcut in the left-hand navigation sidebar. One click takes you straight to the Methods and Systems section — no more scrolling past the full race card to find your qualifiers.

The new “Methods and Systems” item in the sidebar — visible on the Tomorrow’s Racing page.

Access: Sapphire Ruby Diamond — and above (any member who can see Method qualifiers).

🏷️ HC / NHC Race Type Column

Every selection in the Consensus Method, 40+ Method and Possible Lays tables now shows whether it runs in a Handicap or Non-Handicap race — a key factor many members have been asking for when deciding which qualifiers to follow.

This lets you quickly filter by race type at a glance without having to cross-reference the race card — particularly useful when you have a preference for or against handicaps.

📐 Points Ahead Column (40+ Method & Possible Lays)

The 40+ Method and Possible Lays tables now include a Pts Ahead column showing how many OSR points the top-rated selection is ahead of the second-rated horse in the race. The bigger the gap, the more dominant the selection is versus the rest of the field.

• A large positive gap (e.g. +83) suggests the top-rated horse is well clear of its rivals on OSR ratings.
• A smaller gap (e.g. +42) means the selection still qualifies but the second horse is closer.
• The column appears only on 40+ Method and Possible Lays — where the gap is most relevant to the system rules.

The Methods section on Tomorrow’s Racing — showing HC/NHC badges on every selection (green = Handicap, amber = Non-Handicap) and the new Pts Ahead column on the 40+ Method.

Access: Sapphire Ruby Diamond — Consensus Method, 40+ Method and Possible Lays are available to Sapphire, Ruby and Diamond members.

🔀 Back Systems & Lay Systems — Now Separate Tables

The Systems section has been completely reorganised. Previously all system qualifiers appeared in a single combined table. They are now split into two clearly labelled tables:

• Back Systems — by time — all back-system qualifiers (Gold, Platinum, Systems and Silver tiers), sorted chronologically.
• Lay Systems — by time — all lay-system qualifiers listed separately below, so there’s no confusion between selections you’re backing and those you’re laying.

The Back Systems table also includes the HC/NHC type column, so you can see at a glance whether each system qualifier is a Handicap or Non-Handicap race — the same improvement applied to the Methods section.

🔵 New Platinum Tier in Back Systems

Any Gold system qualifier that also qualifies under the 40+ Method is now promoted to its own Platinum tier — sitting above Gold in the Back Systems table. These are the strongest overlapping qualifiers: horses that clear both the standard Gold system criteria and the 40+ points-ahead threshold.

The redesigned Systems section — Back Systems on top (with Gold, Systems and Silver entries) and Lay Systems below. Each row shows HC/NHC type and the coloured tier dot.

Access: Diamond — Systems (both Back and Lay) remain exclusive to Diamond members only.
