Glad you've come out from the Dark side garyf. In answer to your question about what system we should adopt ..... I'm of the opinion that we should allocate say 59kgs to all horses, because weight doesn't matter at all either.

The only reason number 1 wins so often is that it's the best horse in the race, it's that simple.

I seriously don't know whay you people like to confuse things.

Doesn't really answer the question (process to adopt) but thanks for trying anyway.

Cheers.

Let me add this i certainly want you on the forum Barny at,
Least you have a go and stimulate debate whether i or anyone,
Agrees or disagrees is irrelevant it's that you post that matters.

I am in the corner that the barriers and lack of genuine speed,
Unlike last year, may bring about the defeat of Americain and Dunaden,
More so than the weight.

Cheers.

Yes it does garyf, the process would be to allocate 59kgs to every horse.

I also advocate a flat tax rate too. That will never happen because of the ability of Government's "sleight of hand" to screw it's citizens with so many taxes and such a complex system that no-one can ever come to grips with it ..... Hey !! ..... sounds a lot like the handicapping system to me.

I think your posts are equal to the best I've read on this site garyf It's only recently that I've read some of your posts in the General thread etc. Thanks for your input, I'm sure you've helped many members here, and probably made quite a lot realise that there's hard work to be done to make a quid.
