What's curious about the RPR is that three horses ran in the Eclipse that ran in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over course and distance, yet they've all been given lower ratings yesterday:

[code]
[b]Horse Brig Eclipse[/b]
Conduit 121 120
Cima De Triomphe 115 110
Steele Tango 109 103
[/code]

Short of rating the race through only Sea The Stars and Rip Van Winkle (i.e. in the low 120s), that seems about as conservative a rating as you could come up with using collateral form alone.

To me, it is surprising that the 6lb beating they had CDT give Steele Tango in the Brigadier Gerard hasn't been matched up with the 7lb beating they had CDT give him yesterday.

They may well be proved correct; I can't wait to find out.
