rbh (ratings based handicapping) which is done by rvl, has got me confused!!
how do's it all work?? i thought i knew, but i must be wrong
for example at ballarat(6/6/07)vrc midweek meeting, fullta won a 1mw mares race over 1200m!! ok before this race she had a rating of 72. she wins the race and rating go's to 82. fair enough!! the 2nd horse was called moxies jewel whos rating went from 68 to 72 after that performance
she raced on wednesday at sandown in a 0-82 mares race over the same distance-1200m, and accordingly she gets 58kg. totally accept that as she is the top rater.

- moxies jewel wins the race yesterday. before the race as i said, she had a rating of 72. she wins the race by 4 and 1/2 lengths. and her rating only go's up to 78!!!
- fullta won a very similar type of race at ballarat by only 2 and 1/2 lengths but go's from 72 to 82..how do's that work??
- yesterday fullta came 5th, beaten 7.2 lengths in a 0-82, so surely her rating would come down a couple, because the horses that beat her had lower ratings. NO..It stayed the same!!
