Has anyone ever done research on UNDERATED races? For example
due to varying conditions a 16,000 claiming race can in reality be
a 20,000 claimer. Doing a horses to watch list on races like this
can pay dividends I think. Since the speed of the track varies from
day to day it is difficult to determine how STRONG a race really is.

HTR has a SOR rating for races - Strength of Race. Does just what you descibe.

I would like to read a lot of posts about this; but I think some CL as well as ALW levels have a lot more horses going up or down in class so you can see some strong races at those mid-range levels.
