class only comes into the race if the race is ran quickly.Thats why in the states class droppers win many races cause they are all ran fast.
what really constitutes a good class drop? situations like when a horse is dropping into the claiming ranks for the first time for instance.. Pace will depend on what tactics dependent on draws or opposition etc , not a theory to get into now lol , a book can be written
uk racing a class 4 raced unsuccessfully horse now dropped into class 6 to me either it will meet its true level or not, plus his speed figures were ok " ish... other factors like well being, past injuries or current niggles count but without being there to see"em in the flesh, tough to factor etc etc
meh all opinions
had to edit scott, i"m playing the pokers
