Thanks for posting, they say WorkForce was rated higher than Sea The Stars!

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/n...ndicapper.html

Workforce has been given a higher rating than Sea The Stars at the equivalent stage last year following his sensational victory in the Investec Derby at Epsom.

The British Horseracing Authority's official handicappers were impressed by the seven-length romp of the Sir Michael Stoute-trained winner in a record time for the premier Classic, and have reacted accordingly.

"I have discussed the race with my colleague Chris Nash and independently we have come up the same figure, so we are pretty pleased with that," said the BHA's senior handicapper, Phil Smith.

Brilliant win by Workforce, but how about the 100-1 pacesetter At First Sight who stayed the course to finish second in this race ???

Great effort by the longshot as well.

I thought the pace setter was quite impressive as well.
