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 ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
