78 RACING AUSTRALIA FACT BOOK 2021 CHAMPION RACEHORSES BY RATINGS The Australian Classifications are an accurate tool in comparing the merits of a Thoroughbred’s performances over time. From season 2000/01 onwards the weights of those Thoroughbreds listed have been aligned with those weights of the other age categories and weights prior to this season have been retrospectively adjusted in the list below. From 1 August 2005 Australia adopted the international standard in rating fillies and mares and no longer add a sex allowance of 4 rating points to their ratings. TABLE 58.
