Do you agree with the handicapper

And more pertinently, the second horse, First Crusade. ( I am lost without Formgrids !)

ROY'S PHYSCO 65
First Crusade 75

One more thing about the current system - in the plate race , the winner could ONLY get a maximum of 6 points , a cap on his rating. But, after winning the maiden, Zen Arcade gets his actual full rating of the Plate race.
Interesting for form students would be working out what Roy's Physco would have carried in this Sundays race....and if that reflects the margin of their last meeting fairly...

....Thanks but I see that you are already at a disadvantage as Zen Arcade is only a maiden winner and on top of the almost equally rated Broadway Trip with one more win....you snatch another win in Novice or Graduation plate and get 6 more points and you are left to compete in the upper divisions with a 2 or 3 time winner....that's tough for the connections and see why MR system as it stands has it's flaws..... :dry:

.....now what....fortunately CG puts on MR91 handicap for 3yr olds.....not anything close to a 90 in the race......now race switched to different surface....and Zen swings in....how many points for that..... :huh:

FC (75) would have received 8kilos for a 4.5kg defeat from Zen :evil: and Roy's Physcho (65) would have been 3kilos under sufferance....

.....who cares about the MR now....Louis you got a good sort and not bad for a 1st foal....liked the ped from day one....but thought it was a big price for him, very well done... ..BTW Ralphs racing have the full sister and got it for a steal....
