lomaca, TWOBETS was meaning Rose of peace has the highest Career rating on the rating chart section of R&S, not in the neural section.

It would make more sense probably to be the last 12 months because runners usually peak early in their career and a lot of horses still race when they are 6,7,8,9 years etc so giving them a rating from when they was 3,4,5 is pointless for most runners because they will never run anywhere near the level of their career peak.

But I think R&S should apply that rule from say 6 years on wards only because runners often still improve up to that age and are included in WFA ratings.

Rose of peace is only a 4 year old so its stupid to use the 12 months rule for it and yer is misleading.

I don't know if the CP ratings apply to the last 12 months because I've looked at the 12 Month Ratings (shown on the same page as the Career Ratings that has Rose of Peace on top) and they generally differ quite dramatically from CP ratings and their order of preference???

And did this dramatic difference occur with ROSE OF PEACE?

Yes the rating is correct RoP had a very high rated race on the 5/03/2011 at WF a group 2 of $201900 ran third with a margin of 1.7.
None of the other horses quite match that rating.
Actually if you look at previous runs this win was not all that surprising.

Cheers

Moeee, not really. It was equal-last with CP but second-last with the 12 Month ranking

I also looked at race 8. The top rater with 12 Months was no. 12 and with the CP it was no.15. The worst rated in the same race for the 12 Months was no.8, and with the CP it was no.10.

I've found its always easier to find reason to select these Huge Priced winners after the Race has been run.
But never seem to get the same vibe when I study the race.
And when I try applying the reasoning , that got the roughie home , to other races , I still never come up with the goods.

I guess it just a matter of do you want to find a $200 winner after 100 Losers , or would you rather find a $6 Winner after every 5 Losers.

I had a good day yesterday but almost lost it when my mate rang and told me Rose of Peace got up at those odds. SHE'S IN MY BLACKBOOK!!!!!
