    Plenty of good action today.
    One I like EW @ 13/2 in the 1.50 Haydock is Admiral Barratry. Form of his 2nd in Newbury working out well. Has a run under his belt this season so hopefully ready to deliver!😀

    Last day betting for me until Stephen's day, I hope it's a good day.

    I'll be having a few bet's during the day.

    2.00 Lingfield, Red Impression. A bit shorter than I would have liked at around 1.49/1.5 I honestly can't see anything in the race that should come close to it, nothing to dislike about it's first run. A max win bet for me.

    2.05 Ascot, Politologue, I'm not really seeing anything in the race to touch it. Currently around 2.28 backing to win. To me Politologue is a classy horse, charbel is a excellent handicapper but cant really make it in class 1 races.

    3.00 Haydock, Might Bite, I'm laying this, currently around 2.06. I think Native River might have it's measure today but Just sticking with the lay on Might Bite.

    Good luck to anyone who's betting.

    3.10 Lingfield, Para Mio. Currently 2.16 but even on it's 'educational' and proper runs I can't see it winning this handicap. There are some tough seasoned horses in this race. I'm laying it.

    Speculative punt on Thistlecrack. At 12s he's probably a small bit of value.

    Considering Thistlecrack lost about two lengths at every fence he ran on ok!

    Fair play BDM backers, I wouldn't have touched him.

    Thistlecrack would have had every chance if he wasn't so rusty with his jumping. Very proud, Stayers is definitely a viable back up plan.

    Thistlecrack was very eye catching but, on that display, has gone fully from being an exuberant jumper to a guessy one. If they can locate a good halfway point then he’s a serious candidate for sure.

    Below is a quote from you Kiers from the King george thread from the other night. Politilogue won off 168 today, will probably be 170 now or more. You said it can't be a 170. Bristol de mai ran off 165 today, will it be 170 now or there abouts ? Might bite rated 172, his rating be lowed now ? I stand by my ratings 100%

    There is something fundamentally wrong with your ratings if you have either Bristol De Mai or Politologue ahead of Might Bite. Maybe if you are looking at BDM in the exclusion of Haydock then you could make a case. But he was absolutely kicked out of the way by Might Bite at the grand national meeting in april.
    Politologue is a good horse but he is unproven beyond 2m5f and they did express doubts about him staying 3miles last year. There is no chance he can be considered a 170 horse at the moment and Might Bite is definitely that. Look at the horses in behind in last years GC. Annibale Fly 4th in the national, Road to Respect won the G1 JNWine, Djackadam placed in 3 gold cups, Definitely Red won the G2 Charlie Hall. I am not sure on what races you are using to place Politologue or BDM ahead of Might Bite but to me it makes little sense in factual form.
    Both Might Bite and Native River should be a good bit clear on all ratings systems that is absolutely certain. Whether they win or not is another thing.

    Might Bite quite dissapointing. Jumped poor and completely emptied in the straight. You could stick a line through that but unfortunately he is not going to really go to a bettable price in the king George on the back of that I'd say.

    Politilogue didn’t “run off 165”, it’s not a handicap. Nor will his rating rise for beating Charbel half a length whilst giving him 6lbs, handicapper has him 9lbs superior.

    I know it's not a handicap. See the end of yesterday's daily bets thread for a discussion on class races and handicaps and Politologue and charbel.

    It ran off a rating of 168 today, not 165 or can you see something different to me ? I don't think you know what you're talking about to be honest.

    Horses don't run off anything in non handicaps. The ratings are more or less meaningless for the horse unless there is a minimum rating to get into the race. They run off the conditions set by the race nothing to do with the ratings.

    Your partly right. Ratings to get into higher class races that are divided into grades. Your totally wrong as in they don't mean anything that is totally nonsense. How else can we judge ? Some of you have your warped views and that's fine.

    Haha I think you are misunderstanding me. I'm not talking about having a view. The ratings mean nothing for the conditions of the race. They are only relevant for handicapping purposes they mean nothing to what a horse has to do in the race itself.

    I'm not misunderstanding you. You're saying ratings are irrelevant in all races apart from handicaps. Ratings are essential, essential to point us in the right direction. If a horse was beaten in a class 2 rated 155, and the other won a class 1 rated 170, when they meet, which is the obvious to back after taking going etc.. into consideration, and which one should be odds on ? You will say, the conditions of the race when they meet etc...

    You clearly are as I didn't mention having a view once I explicitly even said in my last post that I was not talking about that. This is the horse racing forum I am talking about the racing nothing to do with betting or what I or anyone else thinks will win. Ratings are irrelevant for the horses in non handicaps. The weight is set by the conditions of the race.

    I never mentioned betting, I'm talking about racing and ratings. I'll leave it at that.

    You literally talked about horses being odds on in your last post.

    That's grand though. Take it handy.
