First Qualifier on soon to be published system, is last Friday's Sandown winner, Labelthou(Fr).

The system is called - 'SPART,' which stands for something like, Speed Above Ratings and to qualify all a horse has to do is record a Raceform SS or Racing Post TS figure above it's Official H'cap Rating.

According to Raceform, Labelthou(Fr) clocked a similar SS to Kauto Star on Saturday of [117], no mean feat seeing as no other horse who ran last week did.
According to RP's TS, Labelthou(Fr) clocked a [142].

Both these figures can be said to be, 'above, Labelthou(Fr)'s OR of a measly [94]. The 'MAD' thing is, the Official H'capper did not touch the rating in his re-assessment - he lowered the 57l's 4th by 7lb's. When you think Kauto has an OR of [176].....

One thing i've learnt today is that the Raceform Ratings & Racing Post Ratings are the same (person even). If you look through Saturday's Cheltenham entries you will see that Labelthou(Fr) is entered to run 3.45, 3m Grade2 Nov Hdle and is some 20lb clear of the next best in the RPR or RR column.

My guess is that they don't run here but wait, there must be a couple of valuable h'caps to be had with Labelthou(Fr) before Cheltenham!!!!!

Definitely, One To Follow......:wink
