It seems a little odd to me that both Zenyatta and Gio Ponti suddenly ran lifetime tops, and not by a point. Twice Over also to a lesser extent.

How bout the BSF's Craig? 112 & 110, both new tops as well?

Well, it is a little misleading in this case because he uses a different scale now. That 112 would have been around a 107 last year.

Ah, good info to have.

Dankje!! :)
