100 - 1

89 - 3
85 - 4
79 - 5
100 -1
99 - 2
98 - 3
85 - 4

Ranks don't do a good job of getting at the gap between the top rated horse and the rest.

I use Mitchel's Index Number idea for my rankings (Thanks, HH for the assist!)
I use the 60-11 scale he used in his books with good results. It puts speed, pace, class, and PP on the same scale.
