The end of season rating review is used to re-examine the ratings of all horses in training in advance of the next racing season. Through this review, the Handicappers can provide relief in future handicaps to horses whose records indicate that would be appropriate, where normal handicapping practices may not have permitted special consideration to be applied during the season.

In the review, the performances of a total of 1,068 horses were evaluated. Special consideration has been given to horses whose performances indicated deterioration, including long-term non-winners and those with serious injuries or health conditions which have been unable to start for some time.
