Agreed. Clearly this cast was lacking a star.

Sometimes just watching the race can trump a speed figure in a case like this.
It doesn't make logical sense that this performance would be scored higher than any of BB's races or races like the Peter Pan. It was more on par with a race like the Tesio at Pimlico.

They actually made a nice race out of it. From a fan's standpoint, I enjoyed the battle. The top 2 can probably run some more good races @ G3 or ungraded stakes level at the proper distance.
