When relating to Metro class horses the 21 days refers exactly to three weeks.
Good horses don't race at flemington on saturday and then murtoa on friday in 20 days (usually). That's why the rule in general Weds to Weds, Sat to Sat etc.
When applying this rule it has to be flexible to account for 19,20,22,23 days based on the individual circumstances.
I still maintain horses stepping up in grade are a lot better value and do better than those stepping down. How many city placegetters go to the country and go around half the price they should be and run nowhere.
A real mugs bet in general.
