I would say Mine That Bird ran better than Dunkirk. Having a much wider trip and all. Here are the quarter splits I came up with in the race for the top 3....
I'm sure they're off, but not too much.
Summer Bird:
24.18
23.72
50.98 (second half mile)
23.46
25.20
Dunkirk:
23.41
23.72
25.30
25.43
24.16
26.06
Mine That Bird:
25.28
23.38
50.13 (second half mile)
22.87
26.39
I guess the argument is...was Dunkirk's 23.41 first quarter more taxing than Mine That Bird running the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th quarters significantly faster than Dunkirk. Plus he took a much wider path the whole way. I don't think it's much of an argument.
