Notes: One would think that a single week at the St. James in February would not amount to a strong suburban run, but MGM’s exposure on the Independent track led to a bountiful 30 weeks, all with first billing. The result was 352 EF points and a ranking of 35th position. All managed without any metric in the top 30.
