Blackcat Blackitten was conceding 4 lb to Golden Arrow, so 0.75 length should equate to a difference of 5 lb between the two. Guess the Post have just given BB a couple of extra on account of the fact that the margin of success underplayed his superiority. The fact that he failed to justify that extra 2 lb next time suggests he should be rated on the bare form of that success (115 in the case of Timeform).
