Interesting read Sarah, certainly seems to put the "class will out" theory to bed for early season races.

Interesting reading, but it isn't clear to me how many "A class routers" ran this week. What would be interesting is to go back at the end of the season and see how many (i) top level routers ran, and lost, this week, and (ii) so-called "B class sprinters" that won this week turn into something more over the course of the season.

Yeah, I just noticed some blue blooded routers hitting off the board while sprinters with nothing notable in their pedigrees in the first 2-3 generations romping. I was too lazy to do anything other than post the winners per sire.
