Class Ratings - class ratings are on a scale from 50 to 100 reflecting the difficulty of the race. A top class (Stakes) race might have a class rating of 100; a $10,000 Claiming race might have a class rating of 70. By comparing the class rating of today's race and the class ratings for each horse's recent races you will know if the horse is moving up or down in class that is, if he is in an easier or more difficult race than he has been in recently.
Class level - stake, allowance, claiming, maiden
Purse value - amount of purse
Conditions of race - class, age, sex, state, weight, non-winners restrictions of race
Purse splits - purse breakdown by order of finish

Speed Figure- tells you how fast a horse has been running in its recent races. It is based on the horse's actual time and other factors, such as the condition of the track. A horse who races in top class races might earn a Speed Figure of 100 for a good performance; a $10,000 Claimer might earn a 60 for an average performance. Like the class rating, the speed figure is weighted for different tracks, distances and conditions. A horse that runs consistently in the 80s at Laurel Race Course should be competitive with horses that run in the 80s at Philadelphia Park.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SPEED AND CLASS RATINGS
In order to provide the most effective ratings, Equibase Speed Figures and Class Ratings are subject to change, including, but not limited for the following reasons:
Time of race - fractions times and final time of race
Track variant - The track variant is calculated by TrackMaster . The track variant is computed using a proprietary formula which computes the difference between the winning times at a specific track and the appropriate par times. The resulting number is then either added or subtracted to the speed ratings to adjust for various surfaces. For example, a track variant of +2 indicates that the track was running slow. Therefore, the speed figure of the horse would be increased by 2 to compensate. If the track variant was -3, indicating a fast track, the speed rating would be reduced by 3.
Pace Figures - This speed calculation tells you how fast a horse has been running early in the race, mid race, and the finish of the race. Based on the horses actual time and other conditions, such as track condition, these figures allow you to compare horses performance at different points of call to see which have been performing the best. These pace figures are also weighted for different tracks, so a fractional time of 85 at Belmont would be competitive with an 85 at Gulfstream.
Par Time - Average winning time for this class level at this track
Example:
Off at 2:56 Start : GOOD Track : Fast Weather : Clear
Time of Race : :23.63 :47.03 1:11.02 1:36.87 1:43.43 Track Variant : 0

Comments - Equibase chart callers comment for each horse
Example:
TE ATUA no speed, roused turn, closed with rush, up late, driving. WESTO early gain lead to mid str, outfinished. MARCH OF KINGS away alertly, short lead, faltered. J V BENNETT dueled to str, weakened. INVICTUS never far back, no rally. REFRIED DREAMS contended 3-wide, faded. ONE CARROT GUY no threat. EASTERN SPIRIT outrun.
Win/Place/Show payoffs - mutuel payoffs

2 Te Atua 4.80 3.40 2.40
4 Westo 5.40 3.40
5 March of Kings 2.40

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SPEED AND CLASS RATINGS
In order to provide the most effective ratings, Equibase Speed Figures and Class Ratings are subject to change, including, but not limited for the following reasons:
- Update/correction to underlying data (i.e. time of race changed, reported beaten lengths changed)
- Upgrade in method used to determine the figures
- Periodic re-cast of the figures to improve the efficacy of the numbers due to the increased amount of data available after the original figures were computed
Time of race - fractions times and final time of race
