Regarding Classes,
When doing classes in racing try to keep them in their right perspectives.Take a class 3 horse coming from a $4500 race say at Moree with 6kgs over a 54 limit [2nd]to a $10,000 Cl3 at Newcastle with 4kgs over on a 53kg limit.If he gets +1kg for the 2nd @ Moree = +7 and say you have the Newcastle race Rated @ 48kgs the horses Rating would be 52kgs[48+4 over at Newcastle].The class difference between Moree> Newcastle = the sum of [Moree +7> Newcastle +4 = -3kgs in class] but the horses rating still = 52kgs.If the horse moved up to Cl5 @ Moree and you had 1.5kgs between CLASSES the limit[same 54kgs] the race = $12,000 and the horse is carrying 56/54 limit then the Cl5 race = the difference between 61/54 limit in Cl3 to 56/54 limit Cl5 [7-2=5kgs up in class] so if the Newcastle Cl3=48kgs and Moree Cl3=45kgs allowing 1.5 between classes the Moree Cl 5 = 45+the 5kg drop in weight from Moree Cl3.This Class 5 is 5kgs stronger = 50kgs not 48kgs if the prizemoney was normal.
