John,
Dortmund, as you know is a huge animal.If physicality decides this derby, Dortmund wins. A drawback of very large horses is body soreness out of races and jarring from heavy body powering thru the cushion.Issues of stiffness and sore feet after a race are almost meaningless when a horse is treated and shows recovery from it within days.
You will never almost never see Baffy final work a horse like Dortmund in 1.13+ as he did on Sat.Baffy had a plan there,Dortmund could have easily worked much faster.
