# What do the R figures (R1 to R10) mean?

Concept premium / professional

The R Figures are our calculated performance figures that the horses have achieved. R1 is that horse's most recent run, R2 their 2nd most recent run and so on.

## R Figures

The R Figures are our calculated performance figures for each run. **R1** is a horse's most recent run, **R2** their second most recent, and so on back to **R10**. Each figure is a weighting of both performance and speed.

 [![R Figures columns on the ratings](https://ratingtheraces.com/help/r-figures/0-70fbf42f-9c35-4fc9-852f-bc7ae0869ba1.webp)](#zoom-help-r-figures-0-70fbf42f-9c35-4fc9-852f-bc7ae0869ba1) [![R Figures columns on the ratings](https://ratingtheraces.com/help/r-figures/0-70fbf42f-9c35-4fc9-852f-bc7ae0869ba1.webp)](#close)

In the example above, the horse at the top posted the best last-time-out figure, and went on to win this race too.

**Hover your mouse over any R figure** to open its **Run Details**, laid out as three cards:

-   **Race Context**: the course, distance, going, race type, whether it was a handicap, the **class** and the **direction** it turned, with the date in the header.
-   **Performance**: its RTR Rank that day, its exact **finishing position** (14th, rather than the form figure's 0), how far it was **beaten**, the winner (or, on a winning run, the horse it beat), the **field size**, the **weight carried** and the **jockey**.
-   **Ratings & Prices**: the official rating (and how it compares with today's mark), the industry and exchange SP, the in-running low (and the in-running high on a winning run), and how the **market** moved before the off.

Anything matching **today's** race, the same course, trip, going, type, class or direction, is picked out in **green**, and a **near** match (a similar trip or going) in **amber**, so you can see at a glance how relevant a strong figure really is.

### Arrange the hover your way

Everyone reads form differently, so the hover is yours to lay out. Open **Tools** on the ratings and choose **Arrange Run Details**: drag the cards left or right, drag the rows up or down within a card, and switch off any row you never look at. It's remembered in your browser for next time. See [The Ratings Tools menu](https://ratingtheraces.com/tools-features/tools-menu/).

## Where R figures fit in

The R figures feed directly into other parts of the ratings. The averages of these scores become the AV3 and AV10 ratings, see [What do AV3, AV10 and their ranks mean?](https://ratingtheraces.com/understanding-the-ratings/av3-av10/), and Professional members can rank a whole field by its most recent figure using [the R1 Rank](https://ratingtheraces.com/understanding-the-ratings/r1-rank/). For how every column on the grid relates to these, see the full [ratings columns reference](https://ratingtheraces.com/understanding-the-ratings/ratings-columns-reference/).
