MR panel quick to bullet a horse when they win very slow to bring MR Down.
Zillzaal beats a 133 rated horse under sufference post gelding. gets 6 points yet Socrat not reduced, assuming socrat ran below rating.
adjaab ran over a trip maybe below his optimum. not sure if he was used as line horse will wait for press blurb

I find that nothing makes sense anymore in racing you are spot on, how in the world did they work that out?

As I said before, ratings are subjective at the best of times ..... mine (using Soqrat as the line horse) looks like this:

Zillzaal - 118
Soqrat - 133
Al Mutawakel - 117
Queen Supreme - 116
Atyaab - 115
Roy Had Enough - 113
Green Haze - 114
Barahin - 128
Camphoratus - 114
Sunshine Silk - 110
Tilbury Fort - 111

These ratings are based on the assumption that both Atyaab and Roy Had Enough ran close to their ratings - which means that Zillzaal, Queen Supreme and Green Haze improved by at least 4 points; the alternative would be to use those 3 as line horses (maybe more likely ?) which would translate into the following (as more or less suggested by Charl):

Zillzaal - 113
Soqrat - 128
Al Mutawakel - 112
Queen Supreme - 111
Atyaab - 110
Roy Had Enough - 108
Green Haze - 109
Barahin - 123
Camphoratus - 109
Sunshine Silk - 105
Tilbury Fort - 106

Hi Frodo, I always look for the line horse within the 1st 5 horses with preference to the 1st 3 horses as I believe that the closer the horse gets to win the more likely it ran to form except when a horse wins very easy or ran on to late.
Then I also look at the average difference between merit rating and race rating of the 1st 5 horses using different line horses, and when the average is low (which means that the front horses ran to form) it makes that horse a likely line horse. I used Zillzaal as the line horse.
If they give Zillzaal a 120 rating, they must increase Soqrat to 137 (Which he did not run).
Because on the NHRA website they say that 2 pounds = 1 length over 2000m and that equates to 1.1 length per kg, which gave Zillzaal 8.8 lengths advantage over Soqrat. Zillzaal only won with 0.4 lengths which makes him 8.4 lengths (16.8 points) inferior to Soqrat. How the f**k do they rate him 120 as I am sure that Soqrat did nothing more than a 133.
