I don't think the Goodwood proved Tiznow was the better of the two horses at all.

Tiznow was a "lone F" loose on the lead front-runner in there - and Captain Steve had to act as his own rabbit to try to apply some mid-race pressure on Tiznow.

That race, was actually the highest Beyer Tiznow ever ran in his career. He got a 119 in there. He got a 116 when he won the BC Classic at 9/1 over Giant's Causeway next time out. A 117 when he won the Santa Anita Handicap by 5 lengths at age 4. And a 117 when he repeated in the BC Classic at Belmont the following year. Captain Steve really stretched him every yard of the way in there.
