Interesting question - in theory I suppose a horse could 'soon' be having 3 different ratings :S

Very interesting question................In the UK sand and Polytrack have the same rating under the umbrella "All Weather"

So far ,results on Polytrack locally suggest form is nearer to turf!

This question get ask for pe and the handicapper say that polytrack and grass have same ratings

Rob in the UK allweather racing means loads for polytrack and a few sand meetings so most all weather and turf runs are treated as colateral form.And only if a horse is figured to be significantly better on a surface does it recieve a seperate rating...

Has Kom losing his yard got anything to do with this horse running in KZN?
