A combonation of all factors.
I'd give TWN a razor thin edge over Plesant Tap because TWN was an excellent sprinter, distance horse, and had a good turf race his only try on firm turf. Those California speed types often over performed when they'd go East but he never did.
In his Bing Crosby win he battled for the lead the whole way and beat defending BC Sprint champion Thirty Slews. He also was 2nd to defending BC Sprint winner Cardmania in the San Carlos.
