Jerry,
I want to re-emphasize that my Timeform conversions are in no way meant to be used as substitutes for the TG ratings. As I noted, I am aware of the differences in methodologies in making the 2. You take into account certain factors that Timeform does not and vice-versa so there will be variations in individual ratings for the same performance.
I was mainly pointing out that I found that when comparing averages of groups of horses and applying my conversion, that a strong correlation becomes evident between your ratings and Timeform - which are considered the "gold standard" for European performances. If anything, this actually shows the validity of the TG ratings for foreign races.
