I think I read that, probably in one of your posts or someone elses, as it relates to PL ranks. The other factors total picture when compared to other possible contenders can really clarify the issue.

You will find that sometimes a horse that has NEVER been on todays' surface will rank higher then those that have. You may want to[and I do] downgrade this horse when you make your final selections. Bottom line DON'T blindly accept any rankings. Do your due diligence.
