As far as the alleged class factor. I agree with cj. When a horses' speed and pace figures, along with other strong pluses, indicate it belongs, one should not overestimate usual class distinctions. The mistake I made in this race were due to my missing other horses' better figures - nothing to do with class.

Whenever I hear someone state that something horserace-related has "nothing to do with class"...I always find myself on the opposite side of the argument. And this is after a lifetime of using speed and pace figures.
