In order to encourage participation, the maximum re-rating for the winner of a non-Group or Listed handicap race will be 6 points while the maximum re-rating for the second-placegetter will be 3 points and the maximum re-rating for the third, fourth and fifth placegetters will be two points. Previously there had been a maximum of 10 for a win and 5 for a placing.
What does everyone think will a rating 45 will only increase to a 51 with a win? I understand that races will all be open for a start but will every horse be re rated once this all changes??
