4 (18)	Going The Distance b J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	128	—	311-1	94	109	89	71d	—	—	+15	23.2	12/1 8%
On a four-timer; faces probably different ground but he's been winning in some style
13 (15)	Gallantly ch J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	122	—	72-21	88	110	98	43d	—	—	+4	11.6	12/1 8%
