Those are expressing the same things. You always have to look at then as a tend of at least three efforts. Bob n' John (one of the favorites in the Belmont) was eliminated on that increasing trend alone and he stopped like a cheap watch because his numbers were screaming distance limitation.
The odd ball in that string was Barbaro, who helped define a style I had believed many others (Creme Fraiche, Hard Spun, and Nashua for example) showed: POSITIONAL FRONT RUNNERS who stay "just ahead" no matter how fast or slow the pace and have no set ESP style.
