Apparently takes a very good horse to come get the leader inside the final furlong; vast majority of the winners have the lead a furlong out.

Soviet star was ridiculously impressive in 1988 . Was his only run over 6f as well .

[@seamusfallon3104]

Ajdal's last run before winning this was in the Derby!

[@geelb-fe7ef]

Stravinsky was the fastest horse ever followed by Chief Singer and Royal Academy

[@RandyWatson69]

That was a deep race Chief Singer won.

Chief Singer was a 7 furlong horse. Never should have raced in the York International. Should have been campaigned over in France at the end of the season in nice G1 races over 7 and 6.5 furlongs
