interested in your comments on kame's hope
on an equal weights basis. (a calculation i use to measure the past performace) classic lady was 3.36 lengths ahead of the horse that beat it last time (equal weights remember) and kame's hope was 4.57 lengths behind (e.g. the horse that beat kame's hope carried 59 and he carried 53.5)
this put classic lady 7.93 lengths ahead of kame's hope on equal weights basis. i wonder what the margin was.
although this often does not carry weight (no pun intended) it gives a guide to the value of the prices offered.
although i tipped senate lease (a good run at odds) i did have something on classic lady and nothing on kame's hope)
for interest in the last race my sole runner was general grant (system) and he was 2.23 lengths ahead on equal weights.
almost but not quite at $18 but still a good each way go.
i know these scenarios probably only muddy the waters but its helpful
regards
