But why bother using class pars when you can just use the actual rating of the horse who actually produced the time?

because using the winner means you will have to bring all the winners on the card to 9 stone to be able to compare the expected times...that to me is dicking around with guesswork..why adjust a time when there is no need?

anyone who does work off the winner in that way..will have to use a par anyway ..only difference is..its been messed with to bring to a common weight with the other races on the card
