While working on and testing such a formula, anecdotally and statistically, since we agree the greater the
number of horses beaten the more impressive the Rank% is - we can start with some kind of 'shading/augmentation' of the Rank% number with a markup like we use for other Workout Patterns, for example, when a Rank% reaches 80% or more, when it worked faster than say, 20 other horses it gets a
+ (80+) and when it worked faster than 50 other horses it gets a
! (80!). At least with this, your eye is drawn to competing 80s (or 90s, etc) and can elevate
and further investigate.
