RATINGS

[arkle55]

HI LADS
HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS THREAD
I HAVE BEEN LOKING AT THE SPEED AND RPR / FORM FIGURES FOR RAVENS PASS IN PATICULAR IN THE 2.40 AT NEWMARKET.

RAVENS PASS S/F READ IN HIS LAST 3 RACES 8O 91 110 BUT IN POSTDATA TOPSPEED SECTION S/F READS LATEST 123 BEST 123. ARE THESE SEPERATELY COMPILED RATINGS OR IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS, MAYBE A WEIGHT CALCULATION.

AGAIN RAVENS PASS RPR / FORM FIGURES READ 81 101 114 THEN UNDER HANDICAP( EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A HANDICAP )RATINGS SECTION THEY READ LATEST 127 BEST 127 ADJUSTED 130 . IS THERE A SIMPLE MATHAMATICAL EQUATION I AM MISSING.

BE VERY HAPPY IF SOMBODY COULD HELP.

THANK YOU

Not sure about the mathematical equation, but you certainly seem to be missing a "caps lock" key!

Welcome to TRF, by the way.

The basic figure needs to be adjusted up to 10-00 (or weight-for-age equivalent where that is a factor) in order to normalise for weight.

In other words, as Raven’s Pass’ Topspeed figure is 110 and the horse carries 13 lb less than 10-00, its adjusted Topspeed rating is 110+13=123 (which is still too low, BTW).

It is easier to see the purpose of this when dealing with a handicap like the Cesarewitch, in which horses are carrying different weights and are of different ages.

The day of the race ratings are always adjusted to 10st, so with the Dewhurst runners carrying 9st 1lb, they add 13lbs to the historical rating.

However, with a best RPR of 114, this should put Raven’s Pass on 127 rather than 130.

I presume that the RPR compilers have added on a few extra pounds because they think they’ve under-rated him – his 114 rating included a ‘+’ to denote that he’s probably worth a higher rating.
