Some earlier posts read that way DO - not the one above, thanks. Similarly, I don't want to come across as preachy - I couldn't rate a race to save my life, and don't pretend I can. I do, however, have to field questions on a regular basis which infer a supposed parity in method and scale between the BHA and Timeform which drive me to despair. You're unfairly and unwittingly representing those correspondents.

Re the change in methodology - it would be useful to get a definitive answer as to how ratings are published by Timeform currently. The way annual figures are assessed is clearly the same year on year, but the method of controlling the level of those figures throughout the season appears to be different now than it was up until the late 1990's. I'd be as interested as anyone to know what has enabled that change to be made.

[QUOTE="rorydelargy, post: 2399735, member: 65226"] Some earlier posts read that way DO - not the one above, thanks. Similarly, I don't want to come across as preachy - I couldn't rate a race to save my life, and don't pretend I can. I do, however, have to field questions on a regular basis which infer a supposed parity in method and scale between the BHA and Timeform which drive me to despair.
