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.
