# The Strongest Ratings card

Concept premium / professional new

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](https://ratingtheraces.com/getting-started/dashboard-tour/), 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](https://ratingtheraces.com/understanding-the-ratings/ratings-columns-reference/).
-   **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?](https://ratingtheraces.com/plans-billing/premium-account/).
