The average rating for the field going into yesterdays Hennessey was 143 (rounded) the average in 2005 was 137, meaning that Denmans comfortably eclipsed Trabolgan. The field was also more competitive given that 72% of them had rating in excess of 140, compared to 32% in 2005. Carrying weight on heavy ground is of course harder than the firmer surface that Trabolgan prevailed on too.

Denman just simply banged out the sections jumping straight and accurately, and just stretched away from them in the manner that only very few horses can. He didn't appear to be running quickly to the eye, as he was travelling under restraint without ever fighting for his and the absence of any discernable effort only led me to think he was being saved. It was only when you looked back at the pursuers being scrubbed along whilst he just bowled his way through the sections economically like a good thing can, that you realised he was crucifying them such was their close to 'all out' effort from about 6F out just to stay in touch with his relentless gallop

I think the Snowy Morning thing is clutching at straws in honesty. He might have carried my money, but I for one won't be trying to invoke the "what if" scenario to crab the performance

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2122408, member: 65228"] The average rating for the field going into yesterdays Hennessey was 143 (rounded) the average in 2005 was 137, meaning that Denmans comfortably eclipsed Trabolgan.
