As part of the ongoing review of Track Ratings on a national basis, Rásaíocht Con Éireann has recently reviewed the track ratings applied to licensed Stadia under normal conditions. Two such reviews were conducted in 2017 and the most recent analysis of track ratings incorporated race results from May 1st 2017 to May 1st 2018.
The methodology in deriving and application of track ratings has been independently assessed. The results from the most recent review confirm a reduction in the number of groups i.e. 7 groups will now be reduced to six.
