After class of race is a projected class strength based on the horse competing in the race. The we have the first Quarter percentage of the total race and following that we have the pace of the race which is the second half of the race in fifths of a second MINUS the first half of the race in fifths. Thus a PLUS number means the first half was faster and a MINUS means the second half was faster. Then we have individual comments on the horses.
