the % aren't ratings DO..they are just a measure of if a race is run faster or slower than it should be

the fps figures tell you how good a horse is..i've got handicappers sectionals as well and they are way below this level as they should be

final time speed figures only tell a fraction of the story DO..we all accept that..i still use them.

I wasn't knocking your analysis but PM was a way better Derby winner than most recent ones

When Shahrastani "beat" DB..S would have been rated the better horse on the day..do you think that was a fair assessment of DB?..i know i don't..simply because DB was disdvantaged to a ridiculous degree...held off a pace that strongly favoured the leaders...as was PM
