I think the opposite. too often excuses are made for below par "last runs". What you see is very often what you get

Kauto simply improved massively on his 2008 run. He skipped rather than laboured his way round the track. The transformation was pretty startling really. I would contend that Denman at his 2008 best may well not have beaten 2009 Kauto and it is (for me) quite a leap of faith that Denman will get back to that standard. Having said that, hes in the perfect hands to do so....
