The Quality of the FieldBy Richard J. Nilsen Until several years ago, when Daily Racing Form added the actual conditions of the race to each race classification in a horse's running lines, e.g. NW2L, only the diligent handicapper knew if a horse was rising or falling in class. One had to research result charts or save old Forms to know if the horse was, for example, exiting an open \$10,000 claimer or a \$10,000 claimer restricted to non-winners of two races lifetime. That edge disappeared when race conditions were added, but a similar edge can still be found by incorporating Race Ratings into the handicapping procedure. Online subscribers to the Handicapper's Database have had access to BRIS Race Ratings for some time now, and those who take advantage of them have reaped the rewards. To define, a Race Rating is a numerical representation of the quality of horses in a race. The higher the number, the tougher the competition. The ratings serve as an excellent tool to identify weak or tough competition because they are based on the quality of the horses rather than an arbitrary title, e.g. \$10,000 claimer. A \$10,000 claimer for older males may earn a 109 Race Rating whereas another \$10,000 claimer for older males at the same track may earn a 111 Race Rating, indicating this was a much stronger field. In comparing shippers and horses jumping between class levels, the Race Ratings are indispensable. It is the power of the Race Rating which makes the BRIS Class Ratings such a helpful tool. An individual runner's Class Rating is based on the horse's performance in the race. This number is adjusted based on the Race Rating. For example, a six-length winner in a 108 Race Rating may receive a 111 Class Rating. A horse who finished up the track in the same race may have earned a 106 Class Rating. By comparing the horse's performances to the Race Ratings, the handicapper can quickly get a feel for the horse's proper level. Where is the horse competitive? Doing this for each runner, it will become apparent which horses are outclassed in today's race. Also, utilize the Current Class Rating and the Average Competitive Level (ACL), two factors provided in several different BRIS reports. Both tools incorporate the Race and Class Ratings to predict the preferred runners in today's event. Online sources with these powerful ratings include the Ultimate Past Performances, BRIS Pacegraph, SuperStats, and handicapping datafiles such as ALL-Ways and Plus5.
