What is the 40+ Method?
A 40+ Method qualifier is Top Ranked by 40 or more on OSR (Our Master Rating).
Where Can Top Ranked OSR be found?
You can get the top OSR from both One Stop Race Cards (Available to All Members) and One Stop Ratings (Available to Ratings Members and Full Members).
This example from 28th April 2022 shows COURT OF SESSION who is a qualifier.

It is best however to filter out the NEDs (Not Enough Data) these are where 20% or more runners are lacking data in some or all of the first 3 columns (first 2 columns on Race Cards), usually because they are making their debut.
This leaves us with:
| Time | Track | Race Type | Card No | Top Rated Horse | Points Clear | Odds | Results |
| 2.30 | Lingfield | Handicap (Class 5) | No. 1 | Court Of Session | 51 | 1/2 | WON |

A final note
All ratings pages are generally updated with results on the day after racing.

This will help you to back test OSR and hopefully develop your own strategies.
