What was the highest BHB Rating Istabraq received?

176 as far as I can see Howdi

Sorry meant to add that this figure was given after his third CH win over Hors La Loi.

HLL was awarded 165 for his second.

seem to recall he was higher than that at some point

His highest Timeform rating was 180 so the 176 "official" figure would fit in at around the mid 170s.

I also thought he had a rating of 180+ officially, the 176 is what the RP form page shows for him. From memory, all official hurdle ratings were raised 10lb I think at the end of the 1990s and the RP number might be pre this.

^^^^ yes, i looked on RP and shows 176 I could have sworn he was 180 rated (officially). I was only interested trying to compare him against Hurricane Fly.
