Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments and feedback on my thread about Race Pressure.
When I think about it, it is about the Class of the animal, not withstanding that some horse fail because of injury or they have come to the end on their performance cycle.
In trying to measure it, there is no single factor that you can put in a formula that produces a result that can be measured against a race. If you try to measure several factors against each runner then you end up just creating another rating system, and there’s plenty of those around already, none of which are 100% accurate, therefore it’s a judgment thing.
Race Pressure exists, I’m sure of that, but measuring it is really up to one’s own judgment and race assessment.
Thanks everyone for you help on this.
Kind Regards
