As I understand it, they do them on the best of the last 6 runs (without any timeframe) and adjust them to a standard weight (12st here). In that period, Kemboy's best RPR is 169 for a G1 win and second. Champ got 170 for the RSA and for coming second in a G2. They carry 11-12 in the Savills so you add 2 to both ratings for the race rating.
Spectre has meticulously unpicked their logic.
I really like the race result RPRs as you can add your own context to them (similar to what Spectre suggested), but I've never used the racecard ones because I've always found them to not feel right and didn't know what the calculations behind them were. If what you've said is true and they are your benchmark for what an RPR is, I would have exactly the same view as you - calculating them like that with no timeframe or context is absolutely ridiculous!
Got to agree with you here, shocking stuff. I defended the Shishkin decision, but this is poor.
I actually think Champ is going to go over hurdles this season.
Henderson mentions in The Sporting life piece that he will be in the Long Walk....
“We put him in the Long Walk Hurdle which is going to be interesting because Buzz is going there, On The Blind Side is almost certainly going there. It is possible, but as you saw in the Gold Cup we’ve got to get his jumping right.
“When he schools tomorrow we’ll decide which route to take."
“We put him in the Long Walk Hurdle which is going to be interesting because Buzz is going there, On The Blind Side is almost certainly going there. It is possible, but as you saw in the Gold Cup we’ve got to get his jumping right.
This statement.
What the Fuck ?
Probably indicates his jumping at home has been worse than I Am Maximus.

If he jumps like he did in the gold cup im not sure he'd even get over a hurdle

"I just think Champ needs to go left-handed and I'd rather go to Kelso than right-handed at Ascot in the Reynoldstown." (Henderson, Feb 2020)
Just goes to show, no matter the reason for not running, NH will wheel out any odd excuse
Hopefully no-one on here has had a bet on Chump. I'm just keeping everything crossed that Shishkin doesn't go the same way but I'm not holding my breath.

Nicky may do the opposite of what he did to champ and run shiskin in a 3m2f race to prep for a 2 mile race
