The most useful approach I have found is in comparing how horses perform when "moved up" or "moved down" within adjacent class levels. That takes a mountain of coding to even begin to look at--but what it indicates (if successful) is that "class levels" are way different than ordinarily perceived.
I agree that there is probably a good market for class numbers (especially if they are isolated from, and do not depend on, pace and speed figures or conventional "par times").
