What Is an RA Rating™?
Specific to the race
Supported by context
Important:
an RA Rating™ is not a probability, betting price, guarantee, financial
forecast or instruction to place a bet.
Factors Considered
Recent Performance
Recent runs, consistency, finishing profile and the context in which those performances were achieved.
Ability and Class
Available official ratings, demonstrated ability, speed-related evidence and the standard of race being contested.
Course and Distance
Evidence of suitability for the course configuration, distance and the demands of the illustrated race.
Going and Race Conditions
Suitability for the declared surface or going, together with relevant draw, pace and race-shape considerations where available.
Trainer and Jockey
Recent indicators for the trainer and jockey, including their relevant course, race-type or partnership records.
Market Context
Available market position and movement may provide context, but market activity does not automatically override the underlying racing assessment.
How the Rating Is Produced
Collect and check
Available race, runner, conditions, connection and market information is collected and checked for relevance.
Assess the factors
Each qualifying runner is assessed across the applicable factor categories using the same analytical framework.
Standardise the score
The combined profile is expressed on a 0–100 scale so runners can be compared consistently within the daily report.
Review and publish
The strongest profiles, relevant risks and market context are reviewed before the report is published.
Understanding the Scores
90–100
Exceptional Profile
Strong overall indicators align across several of the most relevant factors.
80–89
Strong Profile
Multiple positive factors align, although one or more areas may require monitoring.
70–79
Competitive Runner
A competitive profile that may be relevant depending on race conditions, opposition and market position.
Below 70
Caution Profile
The assessment contains more uncertainties, weaker indicators or insufficient support across key factors.

RA RATING™
Recent Performance
Strong demonstrated profile
Ability and Class
Positive against sample opposition
Course and Distance
Suitable for the illustrated conditions
Going and Pace
Expected to suit the profile
Trainer and Jockey
Above the demonstrated baseline
Market Context
Stable within the sample range
The overall score represents the combined assessment. It should not
be interpreted as a 94% chance of winning.
Rating Strength Is Not the Same as Value
RA Rating™
Describes the strength of the runner’s analytical profile for the race based on the available factor assessment.
Value Profile
Considers whether the available market position appears favourable relative to the analytical assessment at that time.

What Can Affect a Rating?
Late race changes
Non-runners, going updates, draw changes or other material race developments may alter the relevance of an earlier assessment.
Market movement
A movement in price can change a value assessment even when the underlying RA Rating™ remains unchanged.
Data availability
Ratings depend on the quality and completeness of information available when the analysis is prepared.
Racing uncertainty
Pace, positioning, incidents and normal performance variation mean that even a strong profile may not produce the expected result.
No guaranteed thresholds
No score band guarantees a win, place, profit or successful outcome. Historical patterns may not continue.
Responsible interpretation
Ratings should be used as one analytical input alongside personal judgement, affordability limits and responsible gambling practices.
RA Ratings™ FAQ
No. It is an analytical assessment of a runner’s profile. It does not instruct a member to place a bet.
No. The 0–100 score is a proprietary profile scale, not a win probability or forecast percentage.
No. Rating strength and value are different. Value depends on the available market position relative to the analytical assessment.
Yes. Material changes such as non-runners, going updates or market movement can affect the interpretation of a profile.
The detailed weighting structure is proprietary. Racing Analytics explains the principal factor categories, score interpretation, supporting evidence and limitations without publishing the model’s protected calculations.
Both use the same ratings framework. Standard provides a concise daily briefing, while Premium adds complete ratings coverage, detailed factor analysis and expanded market intelligence.
