The Final Time Rating's was designed to help identify a horse's ability to finish strong or unleash a big closing kick when needed to overtake the leader down the final stretch. In 7 of the last 8 Kentucky Derby's the horse that had earned the highest FNL RAT in a recent prep race finished in the top 3 positions.
