Rating points

[army 156]

The rating system seem to be a bit odd. If you hav points and race and finsihed further than 5th 6th you loose a point fair enough. Today  my horse raced and thee was a horse who finished behind her that is rated above her because this horse got 2 points for finishing 5th out of a 5 horse field. How can a horse get points for getting last.  The syatem needs to change

Was it a Maiden race?

That's right Raceday Fifth earns 2 points if sixth in one of its first 3 starts earn 1 point

Its a lottery alright, seen a in form  4 win horse with r74  in a r75 race, horse, got 59.5 top weight, a 6 win gelding gets 58.5 having won its last 3 starts in a row, hardly seems fair.
