Proform Speed Ratings Class Pars
Class Pars are the median figures for winners for each class of race in each of the five race types.
The data used is for UK horse racing since 2006. Here are the tables of class pars for flat and jumps.
How to Use Class Pars
One way is to only look at horses in a race that have clocked a speed figure that is higher than the median for that race type and class.
Lets look at an example using Last Time Speed Ratings.
From above we can see that the median speed rating for Class 1 AW races is 76.
If we use the system builder to analyse Class 1 AW races from 2006 onwards and then add in a parameter of <76 against the Last Time Out Ratings field on the Speed Ratings by Value tab
and run the system, we are returned :-
This shows how horses who last time out did not achieve a speed rating equal to or higher than the median for the class of race ran.
If we then change the speed ratings value parameter to >=76, the results are
We can see straight away that this is twice the strike rate of the query above.
This tells us that horses who achieved a speed rating of at least 76 last time out hold a much better chance of winning in class 1 AW races.
The rating of 76 we used is equal to the class par for class 1 AW races.
Of course you don’t need to look at just the Last Time Out speed ratings, you could use any of the speed ratings.
