Based on the trip -
Gunnevera and,
Rally Cry both very likely outperformed the winner
Yoshida.
Maybe Yoshida will be a good bet-against next time.
Usually I'd credit Rally Cry a lot more than Gunnevera because of being wide near an early pace.
This pace was a little tough to read. I'm leaning toward the idea that it was actually mildly
forward-favoring. Kind of a weird race without much quality speed, and a lot of ground loss. Definitely a good late flow, but some of that may have just been that the closers are faster horses, and some of the decent forward/early horses lost ground.
Haven't seen prelim Beyers, but logical projection and watching the replay says that
Leofric ran another mid-90s Beyer today (93-97?). He had a smooth trip and was 2 lengths off the winner at the line. We may well see the fig come out higher and Leofric being given credit for an improved race or a 'new top' or whatever in order to justify assigning the figs they want for Yoshida and Gunnevera.
