Got the feeling that was going to happen, egg on my face lol. International Angel looked to have the race won only to watch Coverham given a good ride sail by. If nothing had been said beforehand most wouldn’t have noticed and it would be business as normal but the seeds of doubt have been sown.

I apply numerous filters to the Ratings and I can understand that it’s difficult to blindly back selections without knowing the methodology behind them, if that’s the case don’t back them.

I’m not prepared to publish full data on how I arrive at the ratings or selections

Trying to second guess what I do is not the way forward in fact its undermining and leaves a sour taste, constructive ideas on how we can improve our performance are always welcome.

Discarding winners is a regular occurrence and I’m use to it but others are not and it will undermine their confidence to handle the ups and downs of following the system, I do what I do to improve performance, there is no other motive.
