But most tracks vary from race to race,water volumes, lure distance, preparation between races, weather, even what type of dog is in each race can change, comparing times on the same night to one another simply doesnt work, there are too many uncontrolled variables, why you see dogs that ran slower in the heats win the final, because track conditions change. The only relevant way to look at a dog like this is to see the dogs around them and the performance they put in. An avg. dog can run time and look like a champion if the other 7 dogs are slow. He was obviously going to be (at the very worst) a dog that would make plenty of group one races (he was even only running 2 lengths of Above All, I wouldnt mind a dog that was 2-3L of dogs like DDO and AA)
