123 TFUS vs 99TFUS seems off , even if you viewed coming from far off the pace a disadvantage.
Are you sure those are the TimeformUS figs (eg 123-Gronk, 99-Hofburg, 99-Vino ?? )
Thanks

Gronk ran a TFUS of 123, Beyer 99, was 2w, 3w, beaten 1 3/4 lengths and lost several lengths at the start.
Hofburg ran TFUS about 99, Beyer 97, was 2w 4w, beaten 3 1/2 lengths and had an unventful trip.
Vino Rosso ran TFUS abt 99, Beyer 97, 3w 3w, beaten 3 3/4 lengths and moved a bit too early for a closer. Ironically, this is the same mistake Gronks' jock made in the Travers but Gronks' riders' mistake was much more costly since he made his move much earlier on the backstretch while Vinos' rider made his move later on the far turn.
Overall, I think Gronk ran the better race as shown by his TFUS figure which includes pace with the poor break.
