Group One


This article is about Group One horse races. For other uses, see Group 1.

Group One, Group 1 Grade I or G1 is the term used for the highest level of Thoroughbred and Standardbred stakes races in many countries. In Europe, the level of races for Thoroughbred racing is determined using the Pattern race system introduced in 1971 and monitored by the European Pattern Committee. To attain or maintain a Group One status, the average rating for the first four finishers in the race must be 115 or higher over a three year period.[1] The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities works to ensure consistent international standards.[2] Group One races may only be restricted to age groups or a stipulated sex: they should not be restricted to horses bred in a certain country (though there are regional exceptions to this rule). Group One (G1) races may be run under handicap conditions in Australia,[3] but in Europe weight-for-age conditions always apply.[4]


In the United States, Canada, Japan, South Africa, and British National Hunt racing "Grade I" is used instead. Race grading was introduced in North America in 1974.[5]


These races, whether designated as "Group One" or "Grade I", are of international importance[4] and attract the best horses. They also offer very large stake money. For example, the minimum purse for a Grade I race in North America in 2016 was $300,000.[5] The minimum purse for a Group I race in Australia for 2016 was A$350,000.[3]

PySpark count values by condition

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP PySpark count values by condition I have a DataFrame, a snippet here: [['u1', 1], ['u2', 0]] basically one string ('f') and either a 1 or a 0 for second element ('is_fav'). What I need to do is grouping on the first field and counting the occurrences of 1s and 0s. I was hoping to do something like num_fav = count((col("is_fav") == 1)).alias("num_fav") num_nonfav = count((col("is_fav") == 0)).alias("num_nonfav") df.groupBy("f").agg(num_fav, num_nonfav) It does not work properly, I get in both cases the same result which amounts to the count for the items in the group, so the filter (whether it is a 1 or a 0) seems to be ignored. Does this depend on how count works? count 1 Answer 1 There is no filter here. Both col("is_fav") == 1 and col("is_fav") == 0) are just boolean expressions and count doesn't really care about their value as long a
