This was a original post but here it goes
It's "Total Victory at the Track." Published in 1977 I think. William L. Scott was the father of thoroughbred writers Bill and Scott Finley, thus pen name.
He created Performance Class Ratings.
Step one count all horses in each race.
Step 2 add second call positions of horse.
Step 3 add finish positions.
Step 4 add second and finish calls.
Step 5 make class adjustments. If todays race is $10k claiming, adjust one two, or three points up or down to total. Example $12k subtract on point, $16k 2 points, if very high quality race subtract 3 points. I use 8 levels for 3 points, $62k claiming, or $32k open allowance.
Step 6 divide final adjusted number by horses faced and I have a PCR rating.
Example--Race 6 Sunday Santa Anita 6.5f turf $50k open claiming
Tiz a Billy 71 horses in his 8 turf races. 14 at second call 27 at final calls.
71/14+27=41.
He had two 2 point lower class races. and six 2 point higher class races. 2x6=12 points minus 2x2=4 points for an 8 point adjustment.
71/14=27=41-8=33
Divide 71 by33 = 215
