…The book I am looking forward to reading most in the coming months is "The God Delusion" by Professor Richard Dawkins…
Seconded. Perhaps the most naturally talented scientific author of all time.

The WFA Table – practically untouched since the 1860s but with no mathematical reasoning presented. Why does the horseracing community continue to accept arcaic recipes (the Official handicappers’ methods, WFA) when we could address them and improve our sport?
Open Open Office Calc or MS Excel. Open copy of WFA table. Start with 2yos. Start with 5f data.
The WFA is in 2 week intervals. Make Jan 1 = 1, Jan 16 = 2 (2yos end at 24, 3yos end at 48 and for later distances, 4yos end at 72)
Column 1 = 1 to 72 (weeks)<br>Column 2 = 5f data => 47 lbs allowed @ week 6, 44 lbs @ week 7<br>Column 3 = 6f data…<br>and so on
Make Chart.
Set X-Axis : 1 to 72.<br>Set Y-Axis: the corresponding pounds allowed at each 2 week interval.
Do this for all distances.
What do you see? Does it make sense?
A gift, I hope you enjoy it…

Mr Zorro, I agree with you. I think this is the horse.<br>

GW go for July Cup? Who knows?
I was told from Ballydoyle contact even before GW raced that he would cetainly win the 2000 Gns 2006 – watched him 3rd on debut and dismissed it (I don’t bet anyway). Just that it seems that GW has stood out for a very long time in Tipperary. Perhaps this is as good as it gets.
EU law and Fallen Stock Act says you can’t bury a horse in the ground. Best Mate will have to be cremated.
