Question

What is the OR rating in horse racing?

Answer 1

The higher the rating, the better the horse. Each rating point equates to one pound of weight. So a horse rated at 115 should carry 7 pounds more than a horse with an OR of 108. The ratings are different in Flat & AW races and National Hunt events.

Answer 2
