In fairness to Headstrong (and others) getting through Warbler's posts can be like cracking the enigma code at times. I think it's a perfectly fair point that Stayers Hurdles lack the strength in depth of the two mile division and that it's possible (especially on the New Course) for class to compensate for a relative lack of stamina. However, I don't think the production of lists of speed figures and summaries of the subsequent runs of various contenders adds anything to the clarity of the argument. The liberal smattering of metaphors and tangential arguments makes the argument even more difficult to follow.
