I don't know about that. Under most circumstances, if I have the fastest horse in a race who can either be sent or be rated, I'd prefer that she be sent and control her own destiny then run the risk of getting bottled up and having to scrape paint to win if she even gets through. Now if another trainer enters a rabbit or some speedball who doesn't belong, and I'm talking about some speedball sprinter (see Groovy in 1986 Derby) who will take all the chaser down with him, then I will want my horse rated.
