Maybe I'm using a term that Jim Lehane doesn't use. I meant that they were both dual qualified, by having a made a Turn/Move in his last race and also a Stretch Move, having gained in both parts of last race. In the case of the 58.80 winner, he also had a nice speed improvement which is something I look for over his previous race, but I didn't want to call him a triple qualifier, since Calibration Hcp. doesn't use speed ratings in that way. I do like using either Late Pace (Bris) or final fraction to separate multiple contenders.
I believe Jim calls a double play when horse has the best last out Beyer and best final fraction. While a powerful angle, it often leads to favorites.
