And, finally, Timeform adjust ratings as a result of sectionals only where those sectionals can be established with acceptable accuracy and their significance properly gauged.
That is to say, seldom since TurfTrax stopped providing electronic ones.
Frankel’s rating was not based on sectionals – anyone who bothered to read the Handicappers’ Corner in question should understand that – but it seemed pertinent to point out that sectionals, if we had them, would almost certainly have supported to a large degree the subjective view taken by Timeform’s racereader.
Pour Moi’s and Carlton House’s ratings are not based solely on sectionals either. But it seems pertinent to point out that sectionals (easier to gauge and contextualise in the Derby than was the case in the 2000 Guineas) back up the impression that those were the best two horses in the race. That impression is already reflected in the horses’ ratings.
Prufrock, instead of staying away from the forum because of your annoyance at said post/posters, e.g. robert99; is not it better to come on and repudiate, rebutt or indeed argue against anything that you may view as nonsense and contrary to your opinion?
just a thought.

It is not "contrary to my opinion" to write stuff like that written by robert99. It is contrary to the facts. And it seems to be motivated by malice.
So, in a word "No", it is not generally worth coming on here to indulge his type, however good the debate might be among others and certainly used to be.
Prufrock
I’ve read forums over the years and "know" quite a lot of you as well as you can by the written word.
I’ve read Rober99 on a number of forums and his style never changes. He spouts many words but at no point does he ever actually say anything that is even remotely likely to educate anyone in regard to understanding pace or any other aspect of horse racing. He’s a self serving person who has an air of superiority but nothing backs up the high opinion he has of himself.
You on the other hand offer much forward and forums such as TRF and elsewhere need your input.
Please rethink about posting in general on forums. Most people can tell what agenda’s some have and ignore people who just post for their own gratification. Leave Robert to his own agenda and don’t assume that people can’t read between the lines.
You are very adept at argueing your corner when you need, so just keep posting.
