The scholer v QMCC comparison doesn't favour the scholer imo.
Looking at both races..the QMCC was run on slower ground -28 for the scholer..-35 for the QMCC
so if we remove the ground effect which is 7 length per mile..that would make the new scholer time about 14 lengths slower at 2 miles..so the new time now on same ground as qmcc would be approx 2.8 seconds slower = 238.5 + 2.8 = 241.3
the QMCC time was 240.3.,,so scholer time is 5 lengths slower..and SS carried 10lb less in scholer
the bare time from 3 out in the qmcc on slower ground was 55.97....the scholer was 58.84
to me the qmcc was some way better than the scholer..obviously i'm giving the 10lb difference in weight some respect..but 10lb is a lot over 2 miles
the scholer imo.... is a stone below what SS did in the qmcc
