The PETRUS brief

yip jack to have restrictions on merit ratings is a total contradiction of the concept of rating horses on merit..absolute jock ..

I don't agree with the Kim maiden rule or the plate race rule for that matter. But they exist and we have to work within them. Sometimes we can turn them to our advantage, no complaints then!

There is a difference between using a situation to your advantage (I did back Petrus at the Vaal off incorrect MR60, which at the time was a matter of opinion), and knowing that it is fundamentally wrong.

And even when it's to our advantage AND it's wrong, we should complain.
