Times have to matter - and time analysis by EC1, Nick Mordin etc. are hugely important - especially sectional times, where races are run at different tempos. Anything to get an edge. Times of races are the first thing I look at in results - then distances - then ground.

EC1 has been vindicated in using CH as a somewhat reliable yardstick - It may be CH is a better horse over 2m and is not crying out for a trip as some of us have previously thought. He may also like Wincanton. I would have to agree with his assertion that the Wincanton race today was a better one that Gowran. It certainly had a better field and they went a fair old clip all the way from flagfall.

Where I would disagree however is where Mille Chief is a considered a bet for the Champion - he has no chance of running to a rating in the l70's which is going to be necessary to wun this race.

I am also fearing that my great white hope Peddlers may just be find himself in a stable running out of form at the wrong time!!:blink:
