About fit scores: Race DNA compares today's conditions (going, trip and course) with the conditions a horse has shown it handles. It is an analysis aid to help you form your own view – not a prediction, a tip or a recommendation to bet.

Why did it win?

Priorstown

The yielding to soft ground was not its usual preference (good to yielding). The 1m6f trip was outside its usual range of 1m4f. Its Race DNA fit before the race was 42 (questions to answer).

Our read from the result and the race conditions. An explanation, not a prediction.
