Ratings Update

Almond Sea remained unchanged on her official rating of 112 following her victory in the Listed Betway Swallow Stakes for three-year-old fillies over 1160m at the Turffontein Standside Track on Saturday 18 January.

It was Almond Sea herself who was deemed to be the most suitable line horse to assess this race, hence her unchanged rating.

Runner up Poblano had to be capped at 93 due to the specific conditions of this race that do not allow for an increase of more than three points for placed runners.

There were, however, drops for two runners following this race. Simply Majestic went down to 96 from 98 and You Bring Me Joy dropped to 86 from 90. – NHA
