Hi, Jacfin.

I don't know the method that Unitab/AAP calculate the ratings, and it's possible that had the scratching been known by them (an early scratching), they could subsequently rate a horse as their number one selection which might be different to the horse with the most points had the 100 pointer been a late scratching. For example, the 100 pointer might be a slow/fast beginner, a leader, etc. which could enhance/impede the chances of another horse(s), and which Unitab/AAP had factored into their calculations. Now with the scratching, the entire tenor of the race might to Unitab/AAP be complety different. I would be inclined to ignore the race. Maybe someone else might have a different view?

P.S. Today's only selection won.
