DISTANCE PARAMETERS

In order to fill out your hard copy race result collection forms accurately, follow these guidelines for proper race distance format:

Thoroughbred and Arabian Distances

Thoroughbred and Arabian distances are measured in furlongs and miles.

Furlongs	When recording race distances run at "furlongs", record the "whole furlong number" immediately followed by an "F". (For example, a race run at six furlongs should be recorded as "6F"). When recording a race distance run at a "whole furlong" plus a fraction of a furlong, record the whole furlong, a space, the "fractional" furlong, immediately followed by an "F". (For example a race run at six and one half furlongs should be recorded as 6 1/2F).
Miles	When recording a race run at "whole" miles, record the whole mile number, immediately followed by an "M". (for example, a race run at one mile would be recorded as 1M). When recording distances run at a "whole" mile, plus a "fraction of a mile", record the whole mile number, a space, the fraction of a mile, immediately followed by an "M". For example, a race run at a mile and one eighth would be recorded as 1 1/8M).
Miles with Yards	On some rare occasions, races will be run at a distance that combines furlongs with yards. To record this distance properly, list the number of furlongs, an "F", a space, the number of yards, immediately followed by a "Y". (For example, a race run at five furlongs and 70 yards will be recorded as 5F 70Y). More commonly, races are run at a combination of miles and yards. To record this distance, list the number of miles immediately followed by an "M", a space, the number of yards, immediately followed by a "Y". (For example, a race run at a mile and 70 yards will be recorded as 1M 70Y).

PURSE DEFINITIONS

In order to standardize the collection and dissemination of purse information, the following categories have been used to break purse information down to its component parts:

Purse	In this application, Purse refers to the "base" purse as listed in the official program or condition book
Includes	Any supplemental monies that are included in the base purse. These includes monies are typically state bred or Breeders' Cup supplements
Plus	Any supplemental monies that are added to the base purse. Generally, these monies are also derived from state bred or Breeders' Cup supplements.
Value of Race	The sum of all monies paid to horses (earnings).
Reverts	The amount of supplemental monies not paid to horses. This occurs when horses finishing in pay positions do not qualify for the supplemental monies.
Value to Others	Any purse monies that were paid to others (not horses). Generally, these VALUE TO OTHERS are paid in association with breeder or nominator awards.
Total Purse	The sum of all monies available to be won. TOTAL PURSE is calculated by adding the program purse, any plus monies, and any added monies (including any nomination, entry and starter fees in stakes races).

RACE CONDITIONS DESCRIPTION AND PARAMETERS

Races with conditions in addition to or other than age or sex usually include one or more of the following conditions. These race conditions will be collected and stored in the Equibase database according to the categories and codes noted below.

NOT ALL RACES WILL HAVE RACE CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION TO "OPEN" RACES WITH NO CONDITIONS, THE FOLLOWING RACE TYPES WILL NEVER HAVE RACE CONDITIONS:

• ALL MAIDEN RACES, INCLUDING: Maiden Special Weights (MSW); Maiden Claiming (MCL) and Maiden Optional Claiming (MOC).
• ALL STARTER RACES, INCLUDING: Starter Allowance (STR) and Starter Handicap (SHP).

RACE CONDITION CODES

Codes	Name	Expanation
NW	Non-winners	All races with conditions immediately followed by "non winners of..." This code will always be NW.
1-9	# of races	Restrictions that specify a number of races won. (e.g. non winners of 2 races). This code will always be numeric and no more than 1 digit.
$	Money	Restrictions that specify an amount of money to allowed to be won (e.g. non winners of $3,000). This code will always be "$".
R	Distance	Restrictions that specify a race distance at which a horse has won (non winners at a mile or over). This code will always be "R".
3M, 6M, 9M, Y, Y+, L	Since	Restrictions that limit the time frame during which a horse has won (e.g. non winners since March). 3M = a four month period or less; 6M = five to seven month period; 9M = eight to ten month period; Y = eleven and twelve month period; Y+ = a period of more than 12 months; L = lifetime conditions.

BASE THE SINCE CONDITIONS ON THE CURRENT MONTH (E.G. IF A RACE IS RUN IN SEPTEMBER AND THE CONDITIONS READ " NON WINNERS SINCE MARCH" , SUBTRACT THE QUALIFYING MONTH "3", FROM THE CURRENT MONTH "9" FOR A SINCE CODE OF 6M. (A CHART FOR COMPUTING SINCE DATES IS AVAILABLE BY CALLING THE EQUIBASE OFFICE)

Codes	Name	Expanation
X	Other Than	Restrictions that specify the type of race a horse has won (e.g. other than maiden, claiming, or starter) This code is also to be used in claiming races where races won at a lower claiming price than today's race are not used to determine eligibility, e.g in a race for $10,000 claimers where it states in the race conditions "races entered for $8,000 or less not considered in eligibility).
C	Condition	Race conditions that do not fall into any of the above listed categories. (e.g., FOR THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD, NON-WINNERS OF A CLAIMING RACE EXCEEDING $3,000 SINCE AUGUST 12).

Examples of Collection of Race Conditions Using Codes

Race	Race Conditions
NW 2 L	Non winners of two races
NW 1 Y+	Non winners of a race in 2011-2010

RACE TYPES (Thoroughbred and Arabian)

ALW - Allowance race
A race for which the racing secretary drafts certain conditions to determine weights to be carried based on the horse's age, sex and/or past performance.

AOC - Allowance/Optional Claiming
This race type combines features associated with two traditional race types, Allowance and Claiming races. Hoses may be entered under Allowance conditions (not eligible to be claimed, but must qualify for the conditions of the race) OR entered for a claiming price if they do not qualify for the race conditions.

CLH - Claiming Handicap
Arace for horses entered to be claimed, with weight assignments similar to those of a handicap race (see Handicap listed above).

CLM - Claiming
Claiming races are the most commonly run races in the country. Horses competing in claiming races are offered for sale for a specified priced to eligible buyers.

CST - Claiming Stakes
A race for horses entered to be claimed. Nomination and possibly entry and starters fees are added to the base purse.

HCP - Handicap
This race type refers to a race where the weights are assigned by the track’s Racing Secretary or Handicapper based upon past performances. Their goal is to assign weight to each horse so that all entrants have an equal chance of winning the race. THERE IS NO ADDED MONEY IN A HANDICAP RACE.

MAT - Match Race
A match race is a race that involves just two horses. It can be run under a number of conditions, but generally is run in allowance or handicap conditions.  To qualify as a match race, only two horses were entered in the race. The race does not qualify as a match race if more than two horses originally entered the race and some were scratched, making it a two-horse field.

MCL - Maiden Claiming
Maiden claiming races are for horses that have never won a race and are eligible to be claimed

MOC - Maiden Optional Claiming
This type race is restricted to maidens (non-winners lifetime) that run under the conditions exactly as those for optional claiming races (see Optional Claiming).

MSA - Maiden Starter Allowance
This race is for non-winners that have started for a specified claiming price or less.

MSW - Maiden Special Weight
These races are reserved for horses that have never won a race. They are not eligible to be claimed. The term special weight is derived from the fact that arbitrary weights are assigned to horses by age. (e.g. 3 year olds 118 pounds, older 122 pounds.)

MST - Maiden Stakes
A stakes race limited to non-winners.

OCH - Optional Claiming Handicap
This type race is an Optional claiming race that is run under Handicap conditions. (See both race types listed for a further explanation).

OCL - Optional Claiming
This race type is quite involved and incorporates features of starter allowance and claiming races. Horses competing in this type of race can either compete as a claimer, or as a starter allowance horse, with no claiming price. Those competing in this race that are not eligible to be claimed must have competed at or below the claiming level specified, and have not won a race at the specified claiming or higher since last competing at the specified claiming level or a lower claiming price.

SHP - Starter Handicap
This category is reserved for horses that have been running in inferior claiming company, but have improved to the point that they would not be risked being sold in a claiming race. In effect this race is an allowance race restricted to horses that have previously run in a claiming race at a specific level (e.g. starters for a claiming price of $5,000). In a starter handicap race, horses are weighted similar to a handicap race.

SOC - Starter/Optional Claiming
This race type is another hybrid of two race types, Starter Allowance and Claiming.  To run as an “allowance horse” (not eligible to be claimed), the horse must have started for a specified claiming price or less in a specified timeframe. Horses not eligible under the Starter Allowance conditions may run, but they must compete for the claiming price.

SST- Starter Stakes
This stakes race is limited to horses that have started for a specific claiming price or less in a specified timeframe.

STK - Stakes
Races are classified as stakes races when the meet two basic criteria, 1) They have money added to the base purse of the race in the form of nomination, entry and or starter fees paid by owners; 2) Nominations for a stakes race must close at least 72 hours prior to its running.
Stakes races can be under allowance conditions (weight off allowed based upon number of wins or money won); handicap conditions (Racing Secretary or Handicapper assigns weight based upon past performances with the goal of giving each horse an equal chance to win the race) or weight for age conditions, (each horse carries equal weights based upon their age and sex).

STR -Starter Allowance
Starter allowance races are identical to starter handicap races with the only difference that horses competing in this race are weighted through allowance conditions (i.e. number of races or money won).

TRL - Trial
An allowance race that serves as a qualifier for an upcoming added money race.

WCL - Waiver Claiming
A claiming race where one or more participants is allowed to race without the possibility of being claimed after coming off an extended layoff and is running in a claiming race that has a claiming price equal to or greater than their last start in a claiming race.

WMC - Waiver Maiden Claiming
A claiming race for non-winners where one or more participants is allowed to race without the possibility of being claimed after coming off an extended layoff and is running for a claiming race that has a claiming price equal to or greater than their last start in a claiming race.

TRACK CONDITIONS AND DESCRIPTION

Dirt Track

FT	Fast	Completely dry and at optimal efficiency.
WF	Wet Fast	Occurs immediately after a heavy rain; track has surface water on it, but the base is still solid, accounting for times similar to (or even faster than) a fast track.
SY	Sloppy	As the track continues to accumulate moisture, the base is still solid but water is beginning to seep into the base; SURFACE WATER IS EVIDENT.
MY	Muddy	. Moisture has permeated the base of the track; times are somewhat slower and running tires the horses more.
SL	Slow	The racing surface has begun to dry out; the base is still soft, but surface drying is evident; times are generally slower than normal
HY	Heavy	Similar to Muddy, track surface is deep and consistency is thick, an obvious slowing of times will be apparent as will the tiring of front runners.
GD	Good	The drying process continues, times improve and the track is approaching a FAST condition. Some flying dust may be evident.
FZ	Frozen	As a result of sustained low temperatures, ice particles have formed on the racing surface.

The condition of the base of the track determines whether it is Sloppy or Muddy track. Therefore a muddy track will not be reclassified as Sloppy simply because subsequent rains have left surface water on the track -- the track is simply muddier than it was.

Turf Course

HD	Hard	Surface is hard and horses do not have normal cushion of the course; frequently follows periods of drought and high temperatures.
FM	Firm	Equivalent to Fast on s Dirt Track; course is dry and at peak efficiency.
GD	Good	The drying process continues, times improve and the track is approaching a FIRM condition. Fewer divots may be evident.
YL	Yielding	Usually following some wet weather; horses' hooves dig up the course and divots are flying; times are slower
SF	Soft	Usually following prolonged wet weather; horses' hooves sink in and dig up the course; times are considerably slower.
