Variables
| DataForm Handicap (achievement) Ratings (dah in results) | |
|---|---|
| Variable | Description |
| adh | Average dah rating achieved (Same Code Group only). |
| aDH | adh adjusted to weights. |
| mdh | Median dah rating achieved (Same Code Group only). |
| mDH | mdh adjusted to weights. |
| bdh | Best dah rating achieved (Same Code Group only). |
| bDH | bdh adjusted to weights. |
| ldh | Best of last 2 dah ratings achieved (Same Code Group only). |
| LDH | ldh adjusted to weights. |
| mr | Master Rating. Calculated from DataForm speed (das) ratings, DataForm handicap (dah) ratings, age and exposure, to represent current ability. A plus (+) after the Master Rating indicates either: the horse won with something in hand in either of its last 2 runs OR it was eased or unlucky in running in either of its last 2 runs OR the subsequent performances of horses it raced against in its last 2 runs suggest the mr is under. |
| MR | mr adjusted to weights. |
| emr | Estimated Master Rating. The same as mr but calculated from ratings achieved in other Code Groups when mr is unavailable. |
| eMR | emr adjusted to weights. |
| IDH | Consistent improvement in DataForm Handicap (dah) ratings. Compares ratings achieved in races of the Same Code as the runner's last race. Eg: If the runner's last race was an All Weather race then this variable will represent the number of times the runner's dah rating consistently improved in All Weather races (looking back from the runner's last race). A win counts as improvement regardless of the previous rating. |
