You will probably find that the most vocal people about this will the breeders with inferior sprinters ( on merit rating) at stud

He`s not exactly going to go handicapping is he?

And if trainers want to run against him in future with stable stars, that are probably not really stars then they must accept they must not run against him or accept the consequencies if they catch his tail..

Not taking anything away from Talktothestars as he did outstandingly to win but I think it's way too high.

They clearly used Exelero as the line horse ..................the line horse,in my opinion,should in fact be Talktothestars!!!!!

Rating a horse like tths at 121 (the best horse in the country) is not correct at all.

We have an inferior bunch of sprinters to say the very least and there is no way this rating can be accurate.

Would love for someone to explain the line horse and rating achieved.

He beat his field by 5lb, and there was 2 lengths covering the next 8 home. It was a tremendous run carrying top weight and his new rating is fully justified.
