It’s not about proving things 100%, it’s just about being realistic and not making claims that require huge amounts of evidence to be ignored in favour of circumstance. If the forum was full of posts liks:<br> <br>"Sir Percy is a sprinter because he once won over 6f"
"Les Arcs should go hurdling because he didn’t fall when he ran at Cartmel"
or
"Norse Dancer should not have been retired, he’s definitely got a Group 1 in him"
it wouldn’t be much fun!

If meetings were abandoned, connections of all the horses set to run could simply drop their trousers in the parade ring, take a glance up and down the line, and then announce the results.
It would make the world a better place.
