I['m unsure what we are looking at here but in my first post i was trying to point out that while the overall times gave support to BANGKOK perhaps being superior time wise but the sectionals told a different story depending how the race might unfold, most including me expected COURT HOUSE to make the running, something this horse had done before but it didn't happen and Dettori was allowed to dictate from the front and use his speed to to complete the job. Bangkok is a hold up horse that needs a strong pace to chase but i'm afraid gosden is a clever sod and had worked it all out beforehand.
In my humble opinion the numbers are of great interest but trying to second guess the tactics employed are just as important,

Outlander made some compelling points.
