Performance ratings

Prestige Stakes - Sent From Heaven 60
Celebration Mile - Delegator 78
Winter Hill Stakes - Campanologist 76
Futurity Stakes - Cape Blanco 70
Moyglare Stud Stakes - Termagant 68
Supreme Stakes - Ordnance Row 74

The dates from the book have gone walkies of late with the Futurity Stakes actually taking place a week earlier than stated - not that much was missed with a 1-5 shot winning! The Supreme Stakes has also taken place instead of 8 September as marked in the book, but I hope some of you spotted the error in time.
