    How the hell can you have Delegator 24lbs clear of Lord Shanakill tebob? You may need to rewatch the Dewhurst…

    bulwalk i have answered this question before my rating are not in pounds
    i am not that clever
    they are for the race only combining speed,racing post ratings and the official ratings.
    together with prize money, class of last races,trainer jockey form,going,
    all fed into my computer program and bingo hopefully a winner :D

    agree its hard to know 12 months in advance
    i was lucky last year and backed Kauto Star at 7/1 after Denmans win because of ladbrokes price was 3 points above the others and thought that at least he would run again the following year.
    but this was a rare judgement issue on by me,usually i would wait nearer the race.

    top class performance by a top class horse.
    race plan went perfect,just surprised other runners allowed this to happen so easily.
    agree about parade’s,surely in fairness New Approach should have gone down first.
    this race shows when everything falls right for a horse,how good they are.
    But as we know it’s a rarity.

    As for Zarkava; I know it’s all about personal opinions – but I reckon she would have given any filly in the last 40 years a race – and would probably have beaten them. Allez France, Dahlia, Pebbles, Oh So Sharp, Ouija Board, Bosra Sham, Indian Skimmer et al. That’s what I think anyway – and I saw all those fillies race.

    tend to agree with you

    in my humble opinion
    she is the female version of Dancing Brave

    a wonder filly
    she overcame a bad draw a poor start and then bumped and pushed around, still managed go and win easily.
    to witness a horse live up to the hype cast upon her, no superlatives can be great enough.
    she has set a modern standard that all future stars will be measured by.

    Wondered how you have three pounds between Henry and Raven’s Tenbob? Surely on form ratings it should be closer than that? Raven’s is getting closer with every run.

    Mark

    my ratings are not weighted just points

    based on speedfigures, racingpostratings,money won,highest value race placed,last race class distance and weight,going,collateral form,trainer form course and current,jockey course form.race trends.
    all fed into my computer and bingo.
    i am not clever enough to work out weight ratings etc

    Don’t wish to appear that i am criticising you Tenbob. Anyone producing their own ratings deserves credit. But…

    If a horse wins a group 1 and then subsequantly wins another couple of group 1’s without showing the same form. Should he be rated higher after those two wins? (not talking about todays race).

    Mark

    ratings i do are for the race only.
    so the winner who is rated highest will not necessarily be rated higher in a different race next time against same opposition.
