Please I give Ettrick Mill a rating of 136 after its debut win in a maiden Martin then ran it in a Group race and won I think a Rating of 150 was kind of kind and lenient Don't you Stu now I mostly give 140 as a benchmark for Maiden races be a 2m or 4m race sometimes it gets more when winning by 10 lengths Josh .

Now Paul's Horse Lets nip this in the bin rating it fell on debut which give it a automatic Rating of 110 he then ran second in a handicap before winning a Moore's Qualifier before winning the National I don't remember what it went up for winning the national but it gone from 110 to 144 winning two Handicaps you cant put the horse up more than its got just because it won the National every trainer should know or learn how to protect your horses rating Paul in my Opinion has done that if it had not Fallen on debut this may not be a problem if their is one which its not

DQ Pauls horse and give it to the runner up I'll have a look to see who's the new winner of last seasons National wait a minute while I go look.............. Its Me

Oooh....Controversy

Its the same old adage between realism and the league, there is many things we follow to add realism and then, many things we follow because its a game.

The GN in my opinion is one race we should follow a little more of the realism not necessarily what suits the game, 5yo's for a start, I am sorry James but you made a mockery of the GN two years ago, although all our fault for allowing 5yo's to enter. I banged on about this age thing, but of course many were happy as 5yo's suit their breeding programmes better, which I understand. (we don't allow any other age changes to such important races, at least I do not think so. Lets have 4yo's in the Derby )

If you win a maiden and get rated 150/155 I do not see how Cafe De London is only rated 144 (sorry Paul) for winning the big one

I'm pretty sure it won off 9'st 12lbs last year (both 2nd & 3rd giving it at least a stone, horses that were rated on maiden runs or one win over 4m)

IMO, Cafe De London cannot be rated lower than a maiden winning horse whether a new entry or not, If it won off 110 and has to go up 40lbs then so be it (you either want realism or game-ability, realism it would not of been allowed to enter, game-ability it has to be rated the top 4m horse)

It should be rated better than any other 4m horse that season, full stop! If 144 is the top horse then we cant go giving 150 to maiden winners, can we ?

If I say something stupid now or in the future, it’s better to be able to point out, that the stupidity is mine, and mine alone.

I think u should serve a one race ban This years National
