Blackball Pockets A 107

Paths Of Victory the line-horse

Blackball has had his rating raised from 103 to 107 following his fluent success in the Listed Michaelmas Handicap over 1900m at Greyville (turf track) on Sunday, 20 October.

The NHRA Handicappers opted to rate this race the lowest way as some of the competitors were returning from lay-offs and deemed to be more effective over further distances.

Consequentially 2nd placed Paths Of Victory was used as the line horse and as such his rating remains unchanged as does that of 3rd placed Wealthy, who was only a neck further adrift of the runner-up.

Three horses have been given a drop in their ratings following this race.  Our Coys goes from 89 to 88, Arianos Shadow drops from 95 to 93, and White Lightning  drops to 92 after running off a rating of 95.

White Lightning’s rating had in fact been dropped to 94 following his latest start a fortnight earlier, but the Michaelmas Handicap weights had already been issued at that point so his slightly reduced rating did not take effect for this event.
