Sorry about that Dick, I thought I had eliminated all scratches from those races, but I re-assembled and must have missed Race 6

Now, it sounds like you're saying, when comparing Rank #2s, unlike when comparing Rank #1s when the PL/BPP #1s outweigh the VDC/CSR Rank #1s, in this case 2 horses with 2 Rank #2s as the 2 and 5 horses have - they should be treated equally (and not the #2 outweighing the #5 because its Rank #2s come from PL/BPP).

Is that correct?

(It is clear why the 1 horse is the next in line (Tier C) and not the 4 horse: it has more Rank #4s compared to the 4 horse's Rank #5s.)
