Sorry Manikato we'll have to agree to disagree.
The 11 Group One wins argument is fine but didn't you say they were against inferior opposition? Also, didn't you say the WFA scale is not reliable when used in handicap racing context? Taking all of that into account on what basis do you weight Sunline or any horse switching between WFA and Hcps?
Given that in a mares handicap a fortnight before the Doncaster Sunline fell in to beat Singo's mare (forgotten her name) with 60kgs, surely 58 in a race many lenghts stronger was not excessive.
I would be interested to know how many of the "she was thrown in" exponents actually backed Sunline. I'm her biggest fan and backed El MIrada because I thought 58 against the best milers was a bit steep.
Wrong again and you may well think my logic is wrong too but if we all agreed there would be a lot of $1.20 favourites running around wouldn't there?
Cheers.
