well..you might as well say its impossible to rate any horse if you use that argument..in any race...how do you know what mark any beaten horse has run to?

to single one horse out..and say..oh well you can't possibly know his mark anymore..but then go and rate another race..because all those are reliable markers..you don't who is and who isn't reliable to the nth degree

you could argue that any beaten horse is an unrelaible marker quite easily

i know people have questioned Youmzain..but they were quick to use him to pull down the last 2 arc winners that beat him...and a few tried to use him to bolster up the KG last year

even though he doesn't win now..he isn't automatically an average handicapper though
