I really like St Michel for the Ces, but the BHA bod really should have spotted that Sweet Selection's new BHA mark following the Doncaster Cup leaves her potentially even better in than St Michel.

Someone should tell Matthew Tester that Australia isn't unbeaten.
Didn't see this Grasshopper, sorry. Think so, certainly don't think he was a novice. That rating did come under revision, and though a rating once in an annual can't really be taken back, he doesn't...
The above is not wrong, but worth remembering the performance of the French-trained (so never alloted a published BHA mark) Baracouda who won the Long Walk at Ascot as a novice by 14 lengths from...
Can only be fishing to see how many bites he gets Rory.
Is he that unexposed? And he was beaten 10 lengths at Chepstow in a weak handicap off a mark of 144.

I would disagree with what he says about...
Putting aside the fact that Swinbank himself has chosen to run her under penalties rather than wait for a reassessed mark, don't you think the fact that she's won 3 from 3 in handicaps rather...
I can tell you why but I can't defend it. He's added the 7 lb his jockey couldn't claim back on. Why they chose not to do the same with Long Run's Gold Cup rating is a question worth asking.

I'll agree with you that well-treated British handicappers have a good record in irish handicaps. But they also seem to do well in British handicaps as well. But any suggestion that the British horse...
The sample sizes are far too small to form any conclusion about the British Flat horses in irish handicaps.
I tend not to make points in more than 140 characters these days, no matter what medium I use #brainwashed
Rather dangerous imo framing the ratings of the whole crop of this year's milers around one horse.
