cigar · 05-29-2014, 02:18 PM

I am trying to understand the class hierarchy at my local track. Listed are the class level carded. I would appreciate any feedback, if I have rank/group the class levels in the correct grouping?

Please see attached excel file

Thanks

Hi

Naturally you have a Grade 1 3 + as a 1 rank
You have a state bred 100 Stakes for 3+ also as a 1
Since both are 1's are you saying these two classes are comparable?

If I'm reading this correctly are you saying If the ran a grade 1 race at your track The horses from the state bread 100 stakes race would have a chance if they went into the Grade 1 race too.

I would probably move the OPEN 10 claimers 3 + into a higher group

Thanks Bill, the reasons for my inquiry on class levels is I am making a model of my track by surface/distance. I only have one year of data so I am grouping all the graded stakes as one. I will break out any class level into its own group once I have minimum of twenty races.

I will move the open 10k into group 6. Are the SA, OC and MC in the correct group?
