Fair enough, but my point was that 100% of his figures prior to the Wood are based on the Inner track at Aqueduct....75% of which were over an off track.


Food for thought, is all. If the Wood was a conditioner for him (consequently, his best race to date + his longest distance ever run, over a traditionally laid-out surface), he could clearly move up at a huge number. I'll be watching his works and how he handles CD very closely.
