dam of survivalist is a full to seeking the gold, a very good 10f horse. the mr prospector/buckpasser nick worked very well for the phipps', especially at the distances. shug was neutral on the horse's ability to get 10f, but said before the race that the horse should get 9f. it's not clear cut, but i imagine survivalist will try 9f at least once more - we will know more then. i don't know how you can question the TG #. BR may flatten out when running 10f at CD, but if you look at how the wind aided the one turn times at aqu on sat, it's difficult to say that BR didn't run a very fast 9f.
