Lightbulb Race Rating Help

Hi all,
I'm looking at rating current and past races (not horses), and give them a value of between 1 and 100 (or more).
My predicament is that is a Maiden of first starters at say a country track, be given the same rating as that of a Metro track? One would think that trainers would enter horses of better quality at a Metro track, than that of some country track.
The same would go for a BM64 at Geelong would not be the same strength as that of one at a Metro track and not all Group 1 races should be allocated the same number, for example a Golden Slipper (in my opinion), should not be rated the same as a Cox Plate, and of course I personally think a Cox Plate is higher than a Melbourne Cup. With a few exceptions of course Cox Plate runners go on to win other Group 1 races, whereas Melbourne Cup runners usually come back for the Melbourne Cup again and have a pretty poor record in other Group 1 races, again with some exceptions.
Any input greatly received

Not sure this will help you but the way i use to rate races was like this, each class from my perceived lowest to highest was give a number like this.
G1 3
GROUP1 3
GP1 3
G2 5
GROUP2 5
GP2 5
GP2 5

No Metro Wins 18
Set Weights plus Penalties 20
Class 5 21

84 21
83 21
82 21
81 21
80 21
79 21
78 24
77 24
76 24
75 24
74 24
73 24
72 24
71 24
Class 4 25
Cl4 25
C4 25
Class 3 27
Cl3 27
C3 27
70 30
69 30
68 30
67 30
66 30
65 30
64 32
63 32
62 32
61 32
60 32
59 32
Class 2 34
Cl2 34
C2 34
Class 1 36
Cl1 36
C1 36
58 39
57 39
56 39
55 39
54 39
53 39
52 39
51 39
50 39
MAIDEN 42
MDN 42

I also included these special penalties.

3Y 5
3YO 5
3F 5
2Y 8
2YO 8
2F 8
FM 3
MARES 3
F&M 3
C&G 3
CG&E 3
WFA -2

I also used this race value component.
IF(AU3="","",IF(AU3<10000,14,IF(AU3<25000,12,IF(AU3<40000,10,IF(AU3<70000,6,0)))))

So if the last race was 50k Open it would get a score of 18
If todays race was a 75k Open the score would be 12
I would calculate 18-12 to get 6, the lower the better

Hi Chrome,
I found this chart for Victorian class/weight ratings which may help .

Rather than type out the whole thing here is a link.

http://aussieraces.com/victorian_ra...lasses_134.html

Hope it's not against forum rules. If you can't access it because of the rules I'll type it all out.

I think NSW racing has the equivalent class/weight ratings as Victoria.

For Qld,SA and WA subtract 3.0 kg from the Vic and NSW figures.

Tasmanian ratings are generally between 1.5 kg and 3.0 less than QLD,SA and WA.

NT ratings are generally 1.5 to 3.0 kg less than Tasmania

The Victorian chart is from one source and the adjustment by subtracting for different States is from another x-pert.

Also according to the x-pert races 18oom and over don't contain the same strength as shorter races and 2.0kg should be deducted from the relevant State class/weight rating. I'm presuming that he is not including G1,G2,G3 and Cox Plate Melbourne Cup etc

Hi Shaun,

I am very new to this forum, I am a full time Horse Racing Analysis. I'm retired and can spend more time on my projects and Systems.

I was given your Consensus speadsheet from a friend. I would love to discuss the spreadsheet and it's workings a little more in detail, I think it is a great spreadsheet and you shure have a gift.

I was a member of cyberhorse forum many years ago, it was manly for Bet Selector Users, as usual, a lot of bad and insulting post spoilt the forum and it stopped.

I did a Class Rating some years ago, members may be interested in.

It was based on Benchmark ratings, for example, Benchmark 58 would be Rated a 58, it was to gauge the actual official Handicap of the horse.

If you looked at a horse's official Hcp and deducted the Benchmark or Class as listed below, you could get an indication of the Race strength.

Code:
Class B 45 Class 1 58 Class 2 64 Class 3 66 Class 4 70 Class 5 76 Class 6 80 Benchmark 58 58 Benchmark 58+ 58 Benchmark 59 59 Benchmark 60 60 Benchmark 60+ 60 Benchmark 61 61 Benchmark 62 62 Benchmark 62+ 62 Open 80 Listed Race 105 Group III 110 Group II 118 Group I 125


You will see in this table, Class 1 =BM58 to Group I 125 as well.

Just another way of looking at Class Ratings.

My original ratings were started from the cyberhorse VFG, buck then i would copy and paste the data to excel before i started to use vba to import data.

I now use python to import the same data from the TAB.
The ratings i listed may look a little strange as they are used to look up this data from imported form, i have always had issues with comparing country, provincial and metro form, incorporating the race prizemoney helps.
