Secret Circle will receive a Sheets figure how much faster than Optimizer?

A) 2.75 lengths faster B) 4.15 lengths faster C) 5.13 lengths faster D) 6.08 lengths faster

This answer is 5.13 lengths because 0.75 + 2.00 + 2.38 = 5.13

0.75 lengths is the margin SC beat Optimizer by.

2 lengths is added because SC ran two paths wider than Opt on the turns.

2.38 lengths is added because SC carried 7 pounds more over 8.5 furlongs of ground.

Basically sheet figures are a lot more simple to calculate than people think.
