    Does anybody else miss the old ratings system?

    I know I am an old fuddy duddy but the new ratings system tells me nothing eg 56-69

    How I wish we could still have M1's and C5's etc etc which actually told you something - how many races the horse had won int that class

    Drop backs, concessions, R wins etc didnt mean shit. 10 win horse could be in a C1-C2 on the regular.

    Simplistic 1 win, 2 win, 3 win is the easiest and best system!

    I still miss the old system
    Look at R1 at Melton this coming Saturday
    Isn't this supposed to be the equivalent of an M0
    And yet Sweet Passion who won a $20k Melton race last week is in it
    (and yes I know last week was a 4yo and older PBD/L4$ race)

    ps R1 is at 4.47 so that even with 9 races the night is over not much after 9
