Don't be a daftie now, Euro. It's bleedin' obvious thank you very much that Sprinter Sacre is vastly superior to Kumbeshwar - much more so than a 15L gap would imply.

However, a 15L gap is a 15L gap, and it is a perfectly legitimate question to ask how this equates to a 29lb difference in the respective ratings.

Has the handicapper qualified these ratings in any way? Has he made any attempt to articulate how he has derived them? Because I'm f*cked if I can figure it out.

As for "weights-and-measures" that's essentially what ratings are, and what the thrust of the recent posts have been about, so I've no idea why you've offered a response which refuses to discuss the point!
