When you see a horse like Silver City go faster than is possible to finish, twice in a row in stakes route races, either the horse can't rate or the trainer/jockey is mishandling them. Same goes for Old Fashioned (even though he did it 3 times in a row and won one of them).

Hard to win a 7.5furlong race without rating(or with stupid handling) unless you really tower over the field. Especially off two quitting efforts.
