Race Classes (Thoroughbreds)
Hi guys.
I'm working on a new ratings system where I've tried to minimise the number of subjective (human) inputs. The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle is the requirement to rank the classes of various races throughout Australia from strongest to weakest but I'm having a tough time doing it. I started off with the list from here: https://www.racerate.com/race_classes.htm But upon finding more info on handicapping from the official State racing authorities, it has muddied the waters somewhat. Some of the info I found is below: Vic Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Listed Race Open Mares Open BM / 0-96 BM / 0-90 BM / 0-84 BM / 0-78 Open 2YO 2YO 2YO Open 3YO 3YO 0-78 3YO 0-70 BM 90 BM 84 BM 78 BM 70 BM / 0-64 0-58 NSW Metro Open BM 95 BM 90 BM 85 BM 80 BM 75 BM 70 1MW 0MW Maiden Provincial Open BM 80 BM 75 BM 70 BM 65 BM 60 Class 2 Class 1 Maiden Country Open BM 75 BM 70 BM 65 BM 60 BM 55 BM 50 BM 45 BM 40 Class 3 Class 2 Class 1 Maiden Plates Maiden SA Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Listed Race Handicap BM 90 BM 82 BM 75 BM 70 0-68 3YO Handicap 3YO BM 70 3YO BM 64 BM 80 BM 72 BM 64 BM 60 0-58 BM 54 QLD Metro Handicap BM 95 Metro 2MW Metro Class 6 Metro 1MW Metro 0MW Metro 3YO Handicap Metro Class 6 Metro Class 5 Metro Class 4 Metro Class 3 Metro Class 2 Metro Class 1 Provincial1 BM 85 Provincial1 Class 6 Provincial1 Class 5 Provincial1 Class 4 Provincial1 Class 3 Provincial1 Class 2 Provincial1 Class 1 Provincial2 Open Handicap Provincial2 BM 79 Provincial2 Class 6 Provincial2 Class 5 Provincial2 Class 4 Provincial2 Class 3 Provincial2 Class 2 Provincial2 Class 1 Country1 Open Handicap Country1 BM 75 Country1 Class 6 Country1 Class 5 Country1 Class 4 Country1 Class 3 Country1 Class 2 Country1 Class 1 B Country1 Class 1 A Country2 BM 74 Country2 Class 6 Country2 Class 5 Country2 Class 4 Country2 Class 3 Country2 Class 2 Country2 Class 1 B Country2 Class 1 A I'm by no means a horse racing expert so it's very much I have been told Group 1 in NSW does not necessarily equate to Group 1 in VIC. If this is true, could someone explain that? I recognise there are a lot of categories above, however, my list does not have to be quite so elaborate. Ultimately once the list is collated, I'd like to be able to rank each class relative to the other and normalise the data for use in my algorithm.
