Don't know what Ragozin gave Pesci, ours can be found in ROTW. Your gut-feel opinion of what constitutes a tough trip is unprovable, and we only measure those things that can be measured, like distance travelled. Everyone is entitled to qualify the numbers any way they want, but those who have worked with truly accurate figures incorporating ground loss find out really quickly how tight the figures become when you adjust for how far the horses actually travelled (leaving aside the question of dead rails, which we have the computer search for, and which we mark).
I will also add that my share of the Gold Cup purse would be a whole lot more if Even The Score and Total Impact reversed trips.
