Ya Think.

What a trainer to keep the rating so low.

Shows where we rate our true Stayers

How about Farewell Dance today... 2 time winner, young 3 yr old. Rated 94 !!! I have followed this game for 35 years.... and I was looking and looking at the form... cannot find where a 94 MR comes from... it is my opinion that this horse will battle to win off this MR...

thats a gross rating ismikle,if the race were a handicap today his net rating would be 94 minus 16 which equals 78

in a merit rated hcap they will weight him on his NET MERIT RATING but in plate races such as today he gets only a 2kg allowance ..if todays race was a merit rated handicap senor versace would be giving farewell dance 9.5 kg and not only 2kg...to confuse matters further senor versace has achieved his rating solely on grass and farewell dance has achieved his highest rating on sand..

www.horseracingauthority.co.za/racing/index.php .... under Merit ratings... Farewell Dancer is rated 94. Hence that is his merit rating... and I say that is ludicrous for what he has shown to date..imo naturally.

Hmmm, well at the weights and as the only horse fit enough in the race I had a small Patent with Farewell Dance... but generally i would not have touched it against the more proven runners in that field... now I waiting for Cunning Plan.
