Cockney Rebel is a plater!

hes obsessed with the ratehr daft idea that a slow time must indicate an ordinary horse. Its almost as if he believes that horses race in isolation

Even those who follow time must surely logically conclude that (apart from sprints and true run 2 year old races maybe …maybe) that a "slow time" should result in nothing more than an open mind rather than dismissal?

Its simple logic surely?

Sure. we can all take notice of a fast time ratings but for me thats as far as it should go

His thinking is more along the lines of

"a slow time indicates that the horse is not necessarily a "proper" Gr1 horse BUT the fact that he won a Gr1/Classic means that he may well be overbet in his next race and is worth taking on with others who may not have been as well suited to the poor pace LTO"

Not bad thinking in general but Nick’s method of putting his point across is too sensational which is why it looks ridiculous when he is proved wrong.

I have stated before that this may be as a result of having to produce a system every week for the Weekender and this mindet is carried over to his website.
