Sometimes its not just as simple as moving horses up in the ratings order with a scratching.

That seems to be what others have said too. But its too complicated for me to understand.
While it must be true, I still fail to see if Horses are ranked 1, 2, 3, & 4 and Horse two is scratched that regardless of the factors built in ( unless it involves some head on head data ) that Horse 3 can go anywhere else but to two and Horse four to three.
I have difficulty seeing how, Horse four can jump over Horse three and go to two if the original Horse two is scratched in some circumstances. But it must happen .
That is why I am now going by the original Neural ratings, writing them down and just moving them up the order to take the scratchings place.
It looks to complicated for this Bonehead but I yield to greater and more experienced guys on here.
