It mentions the going was different but doesn't say by how much.

Interesting nonetheless that Nashwan's final furlong was over 14s - about ten lengths slower than STS's.

He also makes the same remarks as I did earlier in the thread, that the Eclipse may have bottomed Nashwan for the season and that STS couldn't possibly have had an easy race and run that time.

Watcing it agin, did anyone notice that while Conduit was only a length behind Rip at the furlong marker and a length or so ahead of CDT, he was five lengths ahead of the latter at the line but almost the same distance behind Rip. Conduit and CDT were pulling away from the others yet the front two were pulling away from them.

Also, it now looks to me like Rip shied away from Kinane's whip when he got to his quarters, losing a good half-length. When he moved a breadth wide again he closed the gap a little close home.

For all that Willoughby clearly hold STS in the highest regard on the basis of this performance, he conveniently omits to mention that to have got so close Rip must be a beast as well.
