Note: The codes above are in descending order beginning with the best race class.

Note: A horse would have only its best race class displayed. For example if a horse was both a Black Type Winner (BW) and a Graded Black Type Placed Winner (GBPW) the best race class abbreviation code would be BW. The wins the horse has are considered more important than when it finishes second and/or third, regardless of the type of the race.
