Handicapping Ratings Update (NHA Press Release)
OFF TO STUD STAKES (Listed)
The well weighted MASCHERINA remains unchanged on a rating of 95 after landing the Listed Off To Stud Stakes over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday.
It was 3rd placed ELEMBEE, who was deemed to be the most suitable line horse in this contest and as such she remains on a rating of 84. The specific conditions of this race do not allow for an increase in the ratings of placed runners. Consequently, 2nd placed QUANTUM and 4th placed PERILLA remain unchanged on ratings of 81 and 82 respectively despite running to higher figures.
Five horses received drops in their ratings. LITTLEMARYSUNSHINE and CRAZY BLUES received slight drops of 1 point each, from 96 to 95, and from 79 to 78 respectively. CAPETOWN BEAUTY dropped to 76 from 78, while VIRGINIA SWEET dropped to 92 from 96. Lastly, REEFWAY received a 2-point drop from 88 to 86.
