I encourage all of you to get on Twitter or Facebook and search DEREK SIMON, who's a very astute capper and wrote a profile yesterday for US RACING on Mendelssohn. Derek created his own measurement of energy in a race known as EARLY SPEED RATION, which looks at the amount of energy a horse used early in a race. Same scale as Thorograph (the lower the better --- a -15 is superior to a 0). Mendelssohn received a 0 in the UAE Derby and Derek stated that horses that had only a 0 in their final prep before the Derby are just 6 for 182 since 1992 with an ugly 0.61 impact value. What say you, Ask The Thorograph Experts???
