I'm sorry about the ridiculing..I just can't believe anyone can seriously back rate a NH race in which runners have numerous runs on the board and their level at the time of the race is known..and those examples I gave are no more ridiculous than whats being layed down here.

I do find it annoying that people are soon posting ..oh EC thats the oddest/daftest posting I've ever seen on a MB..but don't post fook all when they read other postings that are actually far less logical and in my view ridiculous....because they don't want to offend certain people.

Like i said..back rating NH is complete silliness to me and has little relevance to the reality of what happened in those past races

like said..taken to its extreme you could back rate a CH on a claiming win ..its not real to me.

but if all bar Clive and myself rate races like this then i'll always be wrong..mind you..I haven't seen anyone back rate Isty's races and call him a low grade CH winner..so there does seem inconsistency in which horses this sort of rating is done with

[QUOTE="EC1, post: 2281008, member: 65360"] I'm sorry about the ridiculing..I just can't believe anyone can seriously back rate a NH race in which runners have numerous runs on the board and their level at the time of the race is known..and those examples I gave are no more ridiculous than whats being layed down here.
