Bothy is a 136 horse which makes menorah a 163 horse..which is about the mark it could be argued that MC ran to yesterday or Dunguib depending on how you rate it

I think running in handicaps gives punters more of a chance of analysing the form..thsoe behind run more often so you get chance to scrutinise them a little more than the Binoculars of this world..who tend to run in uncompetetive trials where you just aren't sure of the worth of the form..small filed..soft pace etc

I think when a horse wins a competetive handicap giving weight it captures the imagination more than a 5 runner jog and sprint..but I think it can also overrate horses ..in people's mind..a little ...due to this "impressive" feat of giving lumps away in a true run race

I'm not running Menorah down..I wish they all would run in competetive races so we could get real handles on them

this is why I think it folly to ignore yesterdays win by MC..that race was run fast like a handicap..so is a good measure of the horses.
