Power Rating


What the Final Power Rating Means

“How strong this horse is TODAY, in THIS race, after adjusting for everything that matters.”

More specifically, the number is a weighted combination of:

  • Raw ability (speed figures)

  • Class (competition level, purse level, power rating)

  • Track bias (E / E‑P / P / S advantage)

  • Form (recent performance)

  • Connections (jockey/trainer win %)

  • Consistency (average vs. last‑race speed)

  • Suitability (run style vs. today’s bias)

All of that gets compressed into one number so you don’t have to look at anything else.

 

How to interpret the number

90+

A strong winning profile. Horse fits the race extremely well.

88–89

Major contender. Needs a clean trip or slight race shape help.

86–87

Usable underneath. Could win with a perfect setup.

Below 86

Needs a big step forward or a pace meltdown.

 

In short:

The Final Power Rating is your “true strength score” — the horse’s expected performance today after blending class, speed, bias, and form into one number.
