you are suggesting that the handicap system is wrong at 4m+....if that is the case..where is the point where it starts being wrong..it can't suddenly start full on at some point..it must be a gradual slope of incorrectness. Logically it must start kicking in somewhere..so where is that point?..is it 2 miles..3 miles?

and if it just starts at 4m2.5f then why are not all the horses handicapped using the same formula? If a horse rated 170 is deemed incorrectly handicapped at that trip..then one rated 150 must also need the same adjustment surely

i don't think its a handicapping problem at all tbh..because if it was it would apply to every runner and more than one race.
