I normally don't watch the races unless I have a wager on it but I watched the first race and I was surprised that the 3 came back for 3rd after looking finished in the stretch.

Surprised me as well. I thought that #2 had 3rd place, which would have given me my backup tri if Royne [#8] won the photo for the win or my primary tri if Aruba [#1] had gotten the nod. Needless to say, I was making loud noises about #2 War Fighter not being much of a fighter.

You may have to have an abacus for each hand RQ. Never saw such a blizzard of scoring and I think some pretty big scores are not even going to be in the top four.

I don't know whether it means much scoring early in the contest. I always start out like a Maserati, but then I finish like a Ford Falcon.
