He had a four-wide trip which cost him, rough estimate, about four lengths. He got beat by a bit over a length by Direct Splash.

That indicates that Direct Splash, who ran on the rail on the lead likely ran something along the lines of a 6.5 or 7 on the TG, which is only an improvement of a little over a length as compared to his career top.

What does this tell us? That Direct Splash was entirely capable of running this number. As much as Bellsendboy would like to have us believe, he did not in fact, run a 0 or any number that would indicate an improvement of "15 lengths" over his career top.

Actually, he just ran what was slightly his career top.

Who needs a buzzer for that?

Once again, I will reiterate that at this point all rational thinkers connected to anything resembling reality can now close the case file on this one thanks to yours truly, the TG Research Kid.

there is a God...
