Official Bha Ratings Explained

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G L Moore (79 wins from 373 runners, 21%) runs INNESTON TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (3 wins from 12 runners, 25%) runs INNESTON LONGEST TRAVELLER: FIRESTREAM trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 114 miles.

There’s plenty of depth to this novice but the drop in trip could be ideal for FIRESTREAM given how he goes through his races and he’s capable of defying a penalty at the second attempt. Inneston could be a big improver so he commands respect, with Plumpton scorer Churchills Boy also of interest
