Interesting observation, I didn't catch that... no question it was a huge race, but a new top by 3 points is monster. However, I just went through the rest of the numbers for the two mile turf races and it fits really well- and if they are correct about her being 5W4W (I'm assuming they are) then she could have been even faster. Pluck got a 7.75 while 2W2W, so a 9.75 raw, and Goldi was 7.25 points faster on time- so 2.5 raw and -4.5 final (but that would give everybody else in the Mile a top as well, instead they all were close to their normal range which makes sense since it was a very formful race.)

Sometimes I think the European TG's are a little worse than they should be- I think that's because there is no adjustment for ground loss and time means little.

Like all Turf TG's they are as useless as tits on a nun.
