I'm not after giving anything a rating, ever, and I'm not interested in doing so. It's just that the rating of RVW as a superstar doesn't work with me at all, I'm afraid.

DO, fair enough if you're right and I'm impressed that you're willing to stick your neck so much on the line for both horses. Personally although I wouldn't presume to rate anything, I think that Sea The Stars is a very good animal and I'd be inclined to agree that he could well be the best horse we've seen in a generation. He did however keep finding when RVW came to him and I'm sure he's good for a fair bit more than 2lbs over RVW. That said, you can only rate on what has actually been achieved so I can see why ratings have been what some people see as being on the conservative side, not least since it doesn't sit right to rate RVW 130+ from where I am sitting.
