    You can only beat what turns up and beating the older generation and espescially an exceptional and improving mare is pretty special in my opinion.

    Flat jockeys stick around a hell of a lot longer than flat horses

    :emoticon-0100-smile Correct, but many members do their level best to keep the old horseracing section afloat

    John Ingles provides Timeform ratings reaction from the Eclipse at Sandown and a Group 1 weekend in France.

    While Derby winner Auguste Rodin (125p) is clearly held in very high regard at Ballydoyle, he’s now got some catching up to do in the three-year-old ratings with top-class stablemate Paddington (130p from 126p) following Saturday’s Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.

    Really?

    only a fool goes by ratings - some of the past ratings of horses have been absurd only RPRs are inferior to timeforms but also it’s like saying a horse was catching pigeons on the gallops. Means Jack ****.

    Also that is my opinion- we didn’t win a war for lack of freedom of speech
