Code:
Havana 82 72
Strong Mandate 84 71
New Year's Day 76 73
But when you add in ground loss, they look like this:
Code:
Havana 91 81
Strong Mandate 93 79
New Year's Day 81 79
Pretty tough to argue the winner was anything better than 3rd best (not that you needed numbers to see that, but this will be part of the future) |
Good stuff. Tap It Rich lost the most ground in the field too, be interested to see where he fits in. That horse just doesn't seem like he has a real penchant for cornering.
