Class of race

[solidus1]

Hi all.
Am newish to the American form of racing as am in the United Kingdom, but like the amount of info available regards racing here. But have been trying to find a list in order of the class of the races.like here we have grade 1 down to selling races and I know the class of races over here, but am unsure of what it is here.
Can someone help in giving me a list of top to bottom for class.
Thanks in advance.
Michael.

This was tough for me in my early days and sometimes I still ponder it in the case of comparing some optional claiming races vs allowances. Stephen Davidowitz' book Betting Thoroughbreds was the first I read that really helped (he had a chapter on it as I recall). Hoop's reference is a good one.

Thanks shoes I can't remember if that is in my collection or not but will have a look.

Hi All again just wondering if there was a list somewhere of all the pars for each course so can gauge track to track
I know that there was something that they did with beyers figures but not knowing where to look is the hard it. If I recall there used to be one that you could get from the DRF website but as said can't find it any where.
Thanks.
