No-one is saying Sprinter Sacre is no better than 169.

I think just about everybody on here believes he is either close to or better than 180. What we're saying is that a 15 length defeat of Kumbeshwar equates to a bare figure of about 169. It might have been a 30+ length defeat of Kumbeshwar but the horse wasn't ridden to do that.

Until he beats a 20lbs better horse than Kumbeshwar by 15 lengths he won't get a 185+ rating but it doesn't mean he isn't up to it or even well beyond it..
