Thoro-Graph, whose proprietary performance figures have been utilized by professional handicappers and horsemen alike for the past 25 years, has unveiled Thoro-Graph Form Ratings, which are available exclusively on equibase.com.

Thoro-Graph Form Ratings are based on Thoro-Graph Performance Figures, which take into account weight carried, ground loss, effect of wind on the final time, and track speed to provide an overall measure of ability shown by each horse in a race. The new Thoro-Graph Form Ratings provide an easy-to-use evaluation of the current form of horses competing against each other by creating a single rating for each horse.
