I'm not sure about her being better than Jezki James.

There is a very interesting sectional comparison between those two champion Hurdles.

Not only did the ground time the same the day Jezki won and yesterday..but the pace is very similar in both..which for me personally makes for an interesting comparison.

2014 JEZKI 0.00 84.72 23.84 20.60 36.20 16.04 36.90 218.3
2016 ANNIE POWER 0.00 84.68 23.73 20.47 36.75 16.58 37.27 219.5

the pace is so similar in the early stages that it makes a comparison of overall time valid ..there is only about half a length between them in each of the first 3 sections. By hurdle 5 ..AP is about 1.5 lengths in front..between 5 & 6 Jezki pulls that back and leads by a length and half. By hurdle 7 he is 4 lengths in front...by the line wins by 6 lengths.

what makes this valid is that the ground checks out using the other races on both cards to conclude the going speed..and the early mid pace is near on identical..a proper match up. The burst that Jetzki showed coming down the hill would have burned AP off and he basically then maintains and adds a little more from 2 out to the line.

Jezki can be seen as 5/6lb better hoss than AP based on the bare bones of that..and he carried more weight of course.

Was AP fully extended?..may have found a bit more probably....whereas we know Jezki was at full tilt. So its probably fair to say AP could have knocked a length or two off her time. So Jezki is probably 3 or 4lb better + carried more weight

I would conclude that Jezki could give AP the allowance and beat her based in that...and Faugheen too would have done as well in that case.

I'm not running AP down by the way..just looking at it cold..purely a rating exercise.....I thought she was fantastic yesterday.
