Results Page & Analysis
The TopRate Results Page for a meeting allows you to do anything from a quick review of results and ratings to comprehensive post-race analysis.
The video below explores the extensive data in the TopRate results modules and explains how you can leverage this information to gain valuable insights for upcoming races. We've included some further explanatory notes below that are also worth reading.

WFA Performance Ratings
Please take a look at our article on the WFA Performance Ratings for a more detailed explanation of the ratings and, in particular, understanding the difference between the WPR and ATW figures shown on the results page.
In short:
WPR = The rating for the horse's performance, normalised to our weight-for-age figure
ATW = The rating for the horse's performance at the weight it carried in the race
WPR Preliminary vs Final Status
WFA Performance Ratings are calculated after a detailed review of each meeting, which relies on the provision of additional information such as verified times and sectionals at a race and individual runner level. This means it is typically anywhere from two to five days before the post-race ratings are finalised for a meeting.
If you see the "WPR: Preliminary" flag against the race, as shown below, the meeting review has not yet been completed. The ratings shown are preliminary and may change.
If you see the "WPR: Final" flag against the race, as shown below, the meeting review has been completed, and the ratings are final.
Note: Non-Tab meetings undergo different review processes due to a lack of sectional data and replays to review. Their status remains as "Preliminary."
