Good, & lets hope the BHA never allow a bad handicapper to run in the Derby again. It should be compulsory for a horse to at least be rated good enough to contest Listed class events, so be rated near the 110 mark or thereabouts. It's irrelevant that it was for charity. The Epsom Derby is special & for the finest thoroughbreds, let's not turn it into a fairground attraction.
