TheBluesBrother Mike can I ask you a question, do you use RP standard times for your ratings or do you have your own. Only asking because I’m thinking of completely re-doing my flat standards and wondered how much you would trust the RP standards for the flat.

Mike can I ask you a question, do you use RP standard times for your ratings or do you have your own.

The RP standard times are continuously being worked on by Craig Thake "TS", the major errors still being a problem are the race distances from racecourses in Ireland, notably the old favourites Sligo, Cork, and Tramore etc.

I use a combination of the RP and your original standard times plus +15 years of experience to correct any fast outliers,

Due to recent fast-moving conditions and hot weather, flaws in the standard times have been popping up regularly and have to be adjusted.

You can have the best set of standard times on the planet, but without the knowledge of calculating going allowances, you're up the shitty creek without a paddle lol.

The number of times I have queried an RP standard and your standard time has fixed it is uncanny, when this happens, I record the standard time change in my standard times list.

I won't be publishing the standard times list I work to. It's a long time in the making and includes my lbs per length figures for every racecourse and distance.

Mike.

"I will not publish the standard times list I work to as it has taken me a long time to put together."

And nor should you either TheBluesBrother
