Underrated the chances of Highclere. My mistake, all it's best ratings were at and beyond 2100 last prep, only got up to that distance last start, should have improved it's figure. Basically, it's best ratings last prep were about 4 kgs higher than the ratings figure I gave it today, which is why it wasn't in my selections.

This goes to prove a point I was making in another thread - there is no right or wrong answer and right or wrong way. The horse had ratings enough to clearly win that race but I didn't rate it up highly enough so it wasn't a selection. It's all about how you USE ratings that counts, which is why, I suppose, Mark Read has no problems letting his ratings be on the Ozeform site - ratings are ratings, you must do the FORM correctly if they are to be of any use though.

As for me, one race down today, done INCORRECTLY as it turns out. One thing's for sure though, I knew Meadow was under the odds at 1.70 or whatever it was. Non winners keep non winning. That is a truism.
