This should also answer Fischer's question about MTB and Dunkirk. We wouldn't want him to hurt himself.

With the Fat Chart it appears that either Dunkirk or Mine That Bird ran the two best races, and that Summer Bird was worst.
My impression from the race was that Summer Bird was best.
The logical question would be "was Summer Bird capable of more, had he been asked for more?" - and that answer is almost always "No".
Still I am not 100% sold that Summer Bird wasn't best.
I see the big dramatic line angle of Mine That Birds move...
and I see the half mile break that Dunkirk gets.
But I am also stubbornly aware of the 1st quarter that Dunkirk sets(and Mine That Bird contrasting 11 lengths behind) and how fast that is for 3yos going 1.5miles.
