Hes a 99 rating ...... the only 99 rated horse in the field carrying 52kg the rest 50kg hes not a couple of kilos light based on his rating ...... hes a couple over !! Hence the 2kg penalty !! .....Chatauqua 56.5 / Hartnell 58 doubt he goes there .... have no chance !! Redkirk Warrior is a good thing in the Doncaster !! Cant see anything beating him high or low in the weights !!

His rating is actually 109, possibly a point or two less in NSW. 

I' have zero knowledge wrt historical handicapper ratings but at 99 I'd hazard an educated guess he'd be one of the lowest rated ever Open G1 Hcp winners ever, especially given the highly rated opposition he thrashed

From the RNSW website:

David said on RSN he heads to the Doncaster as he'll never get into another handicap so lightly weighted.
Also that they'd likely keep him to sprinting & a mile at best, given his proven ability at the distance when kept sharp & bearing the wind op. in mind.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

I thought my reply might have cleared things up Ada but apparently not. I'd stop digging now if I were you. 

Unfortunately (for you) the headings to that RNSW extract I posted were reformatted but if you click the blue "Benchmark Rating" link at the blh side you can discover the reality for yourself.

A mile will be perfect for this horse Gay3 ..... will really let down !! I still think 2000m at WFA is not out of the question ...... Very good horse !!

Yes I read it today after MK posted the penalty Ada. Difference is I understand its limitations (and mine) whereas you apparently think you're a benchmark ratings guru.

The ratings you've posted are as of a particular date and don't reflect recent racing. For example Redkirk Warrior's Newmarket romp, It's Somewhat's first up win, Le Romain's defeat of Chautauqua, Hey Doc's Guineas win etc. 

It's rare that a horse will jump so far in one run but as I said above the handicapper was obviously impressed by the Newmarket win against top class opposition, as he should have been.

Ada's gone for a bex it seems. Not that I blame him/her. Made a couple of blunders myself today and was lucky Sneck threw me a line on the Hartnell/Dony-caster one in particular.

He should be a good chance in the Donny at Randi, still with a light weight. although I can't see the required Sydney bog track form- maybe he'll get lucky there.

 I am suspicious of the Newmarket form though.

Don't think ppl realise how good a horse you have to be to start favourite in a Hong Kong Derby a race he was absolutely bolting in before being squeezed outta it at the 600m ....... Before that in the Group One Classic over 1800m he chimed in with a big run looked home went down a lip threw the race away in my book ............... Doncaster today over 1600m he should put this field away !!!!

On its day it is the best sprinter in Australia. Should have won a lot easier given it lost a length to get to the outside.

Unbeatable fresh, on a dry track.

If conditions are the same on Newmarket day then it looks almost unbeatable.

Painfully I have to concede ,    I can't remember seeing a final 600 before ,   that he had to clock to win that race.
   Redzel knuckled at the start, so some excuse, but they ran the final 600 in 32.35 .    The winner would have gone much faster than that.
   Sensational run.

Conditions won't be the same in the Newmarket. He won't be fresh and he won't be at wfa.

He seems to need a 100 day break between runs to race at his peak.LOL Might as welll go straight to Ascot.

It's a stupid title. There is no such horse and if there is we won't know it because there is no way to judge accurately.

I doubt he is a high class middle distance horse. Whilst he won his maiden and a handicap over 2000m in the UK they were not high quality races.

Sprinting and FRESH seems to be his go. I doubt he gets a mile in Australia.

Of course there is such a horse, at any one time there is the best of anything in the world, to judge it is harder, obviously.

It's pretty clear cut that Redzel is the best sprinter in Australia right now, you just have to ask yourself if you rate anything overseas higher.
