RPRs have rated DR at 164 and BC at 160, bang on what I'd anticipated but while the handicapper has left DR on 164 he's only put BC up to 157. I imagine Nicholls won't be too unhappy with that given the hose jumped nowhere near as well as he can. Virgilio has also been left alone so the run hasn't done him any harm either.
I'm working on my own figures just now but I expect I'll be rating the entire race about 3lbs better. BC will have a +p.
I've mentioned before that immediate post-race interview comments, which I know some on here dislike, can be illuminating. Danny Cook was ecstatic after the race and talked about how much celebrating they'll be doing.
Interestingly too, the owner said they felt DR was "seven to ten pounds short of top class".
