I'm very much a novice re dosage and suspect it comes into its own in the really big races but my reading of Encke led me to conclude there was the possibility of versatility rather than cancelling out opposing poles of points. He has a very high mid-range number of points, suggesting to me very good middle-distance breeding which might manifest itself in a good cruising speed, enabling the stamina points to come into their own when it really mattered.

 

I can accept I was just lucky on this occasion, though, since I believe Camelot was not quite on his game and could still have won under a different ride. But my old man always said better to be lucky than good!
