Before the race, "class" is used as a lazy substitute for the real reasons why the handicapper likes a certain horse.
After the race, no matter who the winner is, "class" is used to explain why the winner won.
It's a rigged verbal game, rigged entirely in favor of class. That is what makes it so telling that class handicapping has lost so much of its popularity over the years.
