I think this illustrates the dangers of raw stats. I think we have to look at other factors beyond the mere fact that they ran in or won it.

How the handicapper treated it for the win/run.

How likely was it to stay the extra near-mile?

It's fate in the GN itself: did fall, get hampered, brought down, badly ridden?
