Hi All,
I am having real difficulty in coming up with a quick method for measuring the class of a horse.
Does such a thing exist?
My current attempts revolve around Average Prize money (API) as measured against:
1. Race Prize money;
2. Prize money Average Last 3 Starts;
3. Prize Money Index against the rest of the Field.
But, at the end of the day I'm not getting it right.
Are there any suggestions out there?

Another man who thinks the same way as me.:wink:
Here are my suggestions:
Divide the API figure by the average of all the API's in the race.
Divide the API for the last three races of each horse and divide that by the career API. of each horse.
Then add the two figures together...
Example:
Choose $3,647.50 $2,400.00 3.12
Quickwyn $1,620.21 $15,800.00 10.85
Selmoore Star $2,378.45 $1,100.00 2.07
Corporate Mystery$697.50 $ 900.00 1.76
Saint Pago $745.29 $ 800.00 1.58
Bletchley's Hero $927.50 $2,400.00 3.21
Oliuto $355.00 $1,800.00 5.31
Saint Pago won and Quikwyn ran second
Wild Flood $3,123.00 $7,000.00 7.04
Exbury Fair $1,682.50 $3,800.00 4.85
English Girl $ 580.00 $4,100.00 7.96

Obviously there are other criteria you need to add to this, but it's a start.
