Indeed, the pace was solid and he pulled it. “Towers over” is subjective but the TimeformUS figure is indeed the best of the lot. It’s worth noting the highest last out BSF horse has not fared well wearing Roses the past couple decades. For every Justify there’s about 8 others that failed to repeat. That said, about 90% of winners had a last out BSF of 95+ and/or Brisnet 100+. Some years ago I also noted every winner had a top 8 BSF and this included Giacomo and MTB bombers. I have not checked that angle in a while but doubt that has failed since with all the chalks winning lately.
