I don't necessarily agree either. If you can identify one or two - preferably more - beaten horses who appear to have run to their form relative to each other, then the ratings generated by the result can be taken pretty much at face value but it doesn't mean the result will be repeated next time. From a betting perspective you hope it will but horses are only human...

Often none of the lines correspond to each other and you're taking your best educated guess as to which is the soundest basis for generating figures, and that can be very subjective. And miles wrong.
