To put into context how poorly Hansen ran

Tapizar who is a solid grade 2/3 type horse on the lead when healthy, kinda similar to Hansen in many ways ran a comparable race just minutes earlier

Tapizar 23 2/5, 46 2/5, 110, 135 2/5
Hansen 24 1/5, 47 1/5, 111 1/5, 136 3/5

The 37/1 shot that was speed balling with Hansen finished fifth.

Maybe Tapizar is just that much better and faster than Hansen? I like it less when a rider takes a confirmed speed horse and tries to rate them, Hansen would have still lost cause he aint that good but I would have rather seen him loose on the lead, maybe Martins horse could have gone Tapizar fractions, I am fairly certain Hansen could have.
