The ratings filters allow you to filter by the rank, top rated etc, by the value of the ratings and also by how far clear the top rated is from the second highest rated. 

All your choices can be combined so you could search for results where a horse was top rated on all the ratings.

Ratings by Rank

Use the Ratings Rank filter to restrict your system to look for horses ranked 1st or lower, or in the top 2 ranks or a group of ranks etc.

Examples of valid Ratings Rank filters are:-

• 1 (This would restrict the system to look for the highest ranked horse, i.e. top rated)
• >= 5 (This would restrict the system to look for only horses ranked 5th or higher)
• >= 1 and <= 2 (This would restrict the system to look for horses ranked 1st or 2nd)

You can also group ranks together to see how ratings perform in conjunction with each other, i.e.'
Set Main Ratings Rank to 1 and Trainer Stats Ratings Rank to 1 to see how horses ranked 1st on both ratings have performed.
or
you could set them both to >= 1 and <= 2 to see how horses ranked 1st or 2nd in both the ratings have performed, the combinations are endless.

Ratings by Value

You can use the Ratings Value filter to restrict your system to look for horses with specific ratings values in the respective fields

Examples of valid Ratings Values filters are:

• >= 500 (This would restrict the system to look for only horses with a ratings value of 500 or higher in the ratings field you entered the value)
• >= 0 and <= 200 (This would restrict the system to look for horses with a ratings value of 0 to 200)

The maximum and minimum values for each rating are as follows:-
Main Ratings = -400 to 375
Main+Stats Ratings = -650 to 770
Stats Ratings = -400 to 400
Tissue Ratings = 0 to 170
PFR Ratings = -12 to 140
Trainer Stats Ratings = -50 to 100
Jockey Stats Ratings = -70 to 100
Trainer/Jockey Comb Stats Ratings = -50 to 100
Horse Stats Ratings = -360 to 100
Pace Ratings = 0 to 12
Official Ratings = 0 to 179

The dates when each rating started are:-
Main Ratings = 11/03/2006
Main+Stats Ratings = 11/03/2006
Stats Ratings = 11/03/2006
Tissue Ratings = 29/05/2003

Clear by

The Clear By filter is used to check if a top rated horse is clear of the 2nd rated horse by a set number of points or more.

Enter the number of points clear by in the box next to the rating you wish to analyse. The rating rank of the rating you choose will be forced to 1 when the query runs.

You can combine clear by checks i.e. you could put a clear by value in one, two or multiple ratings to check for horses that were clear by the entered amounts on all of the ratings chosen.
