Elkton, MD 21921NSA RATINGS SYSTEM 2022 The Handicap Committee will again consist of chartcaller Martin Chamberlin, journalist Joe Clancy and racecaller Will O’Keefe, with oversight by NSA Director of Racing Bill Gallo. To be eligible for any Ratings Handicap, a horse must be entered in the Ratings system at least one week prior to the close of entries of such race. Ratings will be assigned to hurdle winners only, ages four- years-old and upward. In all Ratings Handicaps, high weights will be preferred. Automatic Ratings: Winners of certain races will be automat- ically assigned a rating for one race, after which they will be rated by the committee. A maiden special weight winner: 116. A maiden claiming winner ($25,000-$20,000): 110. A filly/mare restricted maiden winner: 107. A maiden claiming winner ($15,000-$10,000): 105. Other Policies: A horse with an official rating in another country will race on that figure for one American start. Fillies/Mares and Four-Year-Olds will be allowed 4 lbs. ad- ditional in a Ratings Handicap. Note: Only one allowance is applicable. In all Ratings Handicaps, once the race is drawn, the highest rated horse will be assigned 158 lbs. with all other weights ad- justed accordingly based on the current ratings. If the highest rated horse scratches, the next highest rated horse will assume top weight and all others adjusted accordingly. The minimum weight in all Ratings Handicaps will be 140 lbs., not including apprentice allowances. Apprentice allowances may not be claimed in Ratings Stakes.
