I know it's there own personal view so. Can't be too critical. But it's very questionable there ratings . Especially where la bague au roi is.

Yep. I can see why they've done that. I liked how he won boopa, similar to you.
To my untrained eye, he looked like he had plenty of power still at the finish, visually looked very good.
I mentioned handicaps as a possibility before the Irish handicapper put him up to 150, so unlikely now, but I've just been scanning oddschecker and he's favourite for the Grand annual with a few bookies.

They tend to generally under rate mares at timeform, not sure why this happens, maybe the allowance skews there ratings a little. I'd add 7 on to hers to get a more accurate ranking.

Thanks Timeform.


I did consider subscribing to Timeform actually, would anyone recommend? (It'd be RP if not, or neither!)

Agree with this, couldn't pay for that.

They leave off the 7 lbs (which is stupid as they always have it)

She must be 154 based on Kempton? (so 147)?

I think they do leave the 7 off, as they wouldn't get 7 in a handicap.

Timeform aren't daft, been at it since 1948, a lot of good brains come from and worked for them.
Similar methods to beyer speed figures in the US.
Don't follow them particularly but always have a look what they've got top rated etc.

[boopa]

Their ratings always cause a stir.

I rate how you had to post the remaining table until Hardline is mentioned.

[boopa]

I rate how you had to post the remaining table until Hardline is mentioned.

I'm just copy pasting their tweets. They posted the 2nd one minutes after. Is that ok with you?

[bobbyvalentino]

Haha, only a jest sir

[Quevega]

Once you take mares allowance on board, you can't really argue with them too much,
and the potential improvers are probably fair enough also.
