Couple of gripes about the BHA.

Firstly, it can't be hard to copy something similar to what HRI have for their ratings and amendments rather than a bloody spreadsheet (unless I'm missing something), it's so much more user friendly, IMO.

Secondly, if a horse comes over from Ireland and runs can they not then include this in their next ratings list? In this one case Feet Of A Dancer won at Doncaster, but she's not even listed on the Performance Figures, let alone the amended handicap ratings. She's also disappeared from the HRI list too now! Surely if winning in Britain she shouldn't need to be entered again to get a new rating!

Basic, little things that surely are not hard to keep the information as up to date as possible.

Officials at Leopardstown will have be hoping for a dry spell as parts of the track are waterlogged just days before the Dublin Racing Festival.

The IHRB have revealed the course has had 58mm of rain in the past 24 hours and a total of 165mm in the past 12 days.

They added: "According to the forecast the heaviest of the rain has now passed. Breezy with possibility of light showers today & tomorrow. Mainly dry early Thursday with rain developing Thursday night & then turning mainly dry thereafter into the weekend."

Eight Grade 1 races are due to take place including the Irish Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle.

Feet of a Dancer got a performance rating of 144
To find this you have to search for a UK trained horse that ran in the same race.
Lavida Adiva for example.
Then go to that horses race history for that same race and all the performance ratings are there.

Cheers Q.

Long way around it :ROFLMAO: can't they just simplify it!
 
….PP;

Will racing go ahead at Leop on 31st Jan
No 10/11
Yes 10/11
 
That 10/11 for No is buying money, just seen a video of the course, if that drains off it'll be a miracle.
 
I know one thing, I won't be using the form as gospel given how it'll likely ride if it is all good to go by the weekend.

Yep. Will likely be complete opposite come Festival like last year.
 
Apologies if this is posted elsewhere but anyone know when we will see/ get NRNB ? I think it was end of January last year when Bet 365 went NRNB and i believe Laddies are going NRNB on main races next week ? Anyone heard of any other dates ?
 
There's a thread on it a few down... Lads / corals already got the championship races.
