When the conditions are like that - some horses seem to handle the going a lot better than others causing FAR greater margins of victory and defeat than normal.
I tend to dismiss those performances - but it doesn't mean those horses weren't possibly clearly best anyway.

It's impossible not to think of Brilliance in the Kent a couple years ago.
Bottom line....the fig is meaningless. Sailor's Cap is a good horse, probably the leading US 3YO turf horse right now, but quantifying that race considering the conditions is fruitless.
I don't know why this is hard for people to understand.
