This is the point that you (and others) make all of the time that just makes absolutely no sense to me. Really good horses string together good races in a row quite often. By this logic it seems like a horse such as War Pass would be a more likely winner of the Juvy if he had run considerably slower in the Champagne and finished third.
That is completely illogical.
