Understanding the making and theory behind Bris's Class Ratings are based on the premise that a horse's performance in any given race can be accurately gauged by considering the horses which the individual has beaten; those that have beaten him; and by the margins involved. Final Time is NOT a factor used in calculating the ratings. Using proprietary computer algorithms, the recent Class Ratings for ALL horses in their recent races are calculated, adjusted and then recalculated every time ANY horse crosses a finish line. This calculation process creates complex inter-relationships among ALL thoroughbred racehorses regardless of the track, distance, surface, or country the horses actually ran at. What makes the Class Ratings such a powerful handicapping tool is the daily updates and constant adjustments made to the ratings which reflect the subsequent performances of ALL horses in EVERY race. The net result of this extensive data crunching is reliable, objective data which can accurately quantify the relative merit of any thoroughbred racehorse's performance. So now you add the Top-4 Picks and races where you have the edge
