By the way, I don't think the result of the Gotham did anything to support the fast Beyer figure given to the Holy Bull. It's hard to make perfect comparisons between the trips because we are talking about various combinations of gate issues, pace issues, ground loss etc... but both Hansen and My Adonis were given slower figures for the Gotham than the Holy Bull despite the fact that they are both 3YOs that you would expect to be moving forward and IMO had easier (My Adonis) or similar trips. I still think the figure for the Holy Bull was too fast (and by definition Algorithms potentially overrated).
IMO the real lesson of that result is that no one from the rest of the field could move forward enough to even threaten the top two.
