Get Ahead has been issued with a penalty of +9 in the official ratings (OR) after cruising to victory in the five furlong, World Pool Handicap (Class 3) for 3-year-olds at Goodwood.
Despite carrying equal top weight (9-9) the Clive Cox trained filly demonstrated her ability in moving through the field to beat the impressive Silky Wilkie (OR 84) off a mark of 92.
The increase would appear to be justified as Silkie Wilkie has since gone in at Haydock off OR 86. Our PR would place Get Ahead on 98, so we feel the handicapper has been a little harsh.
