Hear the Drums Re-Rated Down

Super stuff. But once again he did not run to his MR, even though it's coming down. However, this isn't his best distance and you have to love the tenacity he showed!

will be rerted down again after todays win..gave the 2nd horse 4.5kg and in a hcap would have recieved 11KG...hear the drums must come down again in the ratings

I would use Mazar e Sharif as the line horse, which puts Hear The Drums around 104 or 105. However, the distance may count against a too-literal reading of the form.

merit rating is a pattern...in my humble opinion

a pattern that we derive by mixing the various ingredients such as time, variant, weight, age, distance etc.

because we can only perceive 4 dimensions, height, lenght, width...and time, we have a limited capability to view patterns..

by next year, OLAP with cubes will be a reality in the racing industry and we will view multiple patterns..maybe 100 or even more...
some of these patterns will eventually be defined as ingredients, as input to super patterns.

these super patterns will give us a view of trends that we have never envisaged before, assisting in the selection of winners and non performers.

merit rating will then be come a memory in the past.

No, they won't.

He won 28 races up to date.
He won two Listed races in PE.
The rest was Pinaccle races and merit rated races.
He have never won any other future race except this two listed races.
