class

this is just a bit of fun for today to further the class system i discussed on my speed thread that i toyed with a few years ago ...... firstly you have gauge the differences between classes and as this is the biggest sticking point and everyone will have different opinions for the purposes of getting the thread going ive come up with the following ratingwhich is open to further alteration at a later date: group 1 130-140 group 2 123-129 group 3 115-122 listed(inc hcap) 104-114 class 2 90-103 class 3 76-90 class4 66-75 class 5 56-65 class6 46-55 class 7 0-45 of course as mentioned some races are better than others so ratings will open to scrutiny but lets see how they go ......... lets take todays 3.25 ayr billy blackpool has run 4l down in class 4 recently carrying 2lbs more - winner of class 4 (65) -4 lengths =(4x2lbs) =57 (+2lb lighter)=total 59 the cockney squire ... -10l class 4 =55 now 5lbs better so 60 pamak dairy -11 class 3 =68 now 12lbs worse =56 so although this race looks one sided from a class point of view they are all generally evenly matched according to this chart its only for fun ,so lets see what happens .....oh for further .....billy blackpools rating is good/soft, the cockney squire is good .....todays ground is good so in theory the cockney squire comes out best but only just :unsure

Re: class in the 4.00 ayr : emirate isle on his last but one run is rated 78 on soft but ran very poorly last time so form has to be taken on trust whaston has a rating of 69 on good super ally has a rating of 72 on soft over 20f so whaston comes out top in todays conditions
