The Strongest Ratings card

Conceptpremium / professionalnew

The Strongest Ratings card picks out the five races where our top-rated horse stands furthest clear of the second-rated, the days where the ratings most strongly back the top pick.

Not every top pick is equal. In some races our top-rated horse is streets clear of the rest on the ratings; in others it's a whisker in front. Strongest Ratings - Running Today finds the five where that gap is biggest.

Where to find it

On your dashboard, open the Today Stats tab, the Strongest Ratings - Running Today card is the first section there. It's a Premium and Professional feature.

What "Clear By" means

Each row is a race, ordered by how emphatically the ratings back its top pick:

  • RTR 1 is the top-rated horse's RTR Score.
  • RTR 2 is the second-rated horse's score, with its name underneath.
  • Clear By is how far RTR 1 is ahead of RTR 2, shown as a percentage of the second score, with the raw points gap beneath it.

The bigger the percentage, the more daylight there is between our top pick and the rest of the field. A race only appears once at least two of its runners are rated.

Reading a row

Alongside those you get the horse (the top-rated runner), Today's Race (course, time and how many runners in it are rated), the Result once it's run, and the current Odds.

Days and the "Still to run" switch

Flip between Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow to look back or ahead. The Still to run switch hides races that have already gone off, so you're only left with the ones you can still get involved in.

A big ratings gap is a strong starting point, not a certainty, weigh it up with the rest of the card. Strongest Ratings is a Premium and Professional feature; see What's included in a Premium account?.
