A Speed figure - if accurate - only tells you how fast a horse ran final time wise given the inherent speed of the race track.
IWR and QR ran extremely fast races without smoke and mirorrs. Genuine great performances.
FF had one perfect trip after another. I liked Pioneer of the Nile better than him and picked him above FF. And even though FF's form is overrated he ran way too bad to be believed today. Something happened.
Dunkirk figured to get his education today - and I certainly don't believe he's as much horse as Quaility Road right now. He ran too bad to be true and will bounce back as well.
