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.
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
