Both horses are very similar in ability, only difference to me is one can win with or without the lead (Latent Heat) and one is a one dimensional need the lead to win horse.

On his best day, I think Latent Heat is a better horse. That doesn't mean that the ride by Cohen didn't cost PTT the race b/c I think it did.
