Can anyone help with horse race classifications ??

Question

I have just uncovered an old racing system but there is a problem. It refers to classes of races as A, B, C etc and now the Racing Post classes them as 1, 2, 3 etc. Does old class A = new class 1 etc. Any help would be gratefully received.

Answer 1

A racing system? You know the old saying System working well Send more money Bin it!

Answer 2

yes it like that a=1 b=2 etc upto 6

class 1 are group/listed races and some top h'caps

class 2 - 6 h'caps

claimers i think are class 4 or lower

sellers are class 6.

condition races are class 2-4

maidens i think start at class 2 to 5.
