Australian Track Ratings
We believe that if a thoroughbred racetrack is seriously rain affected it is better to bypass that meeting and look elsewhere.
Ideally we recommend you do not bet on any meeting where the track is worse than a Dead 4.
Below is a track rating system chart
Category Scale Description FAST 1 A dry hard track GOOD 2 A firm track GOOD 3 Ideal track with some give DEAD 4 Track with give, better side of Dead DEAD 5 Significant amount of give, worse side of Dead SLOW 6 A mildly rain affected track, better side of Slow SLOW 7 Rain affected, worse side of Slow HEAVY 8 Soft track, just into heavy range HEAVY 9 Very soft, genuine heavy HEAVY 10 Very soft and wet, heaviest category
