All this pace hoo-hah about a horse that figured to run a monster race and did? I don't get it.
Also, 108+ for 6f SEEMS LIKE 108+ for 6f, period, in comparison with the other races or not. It doesn't "seem" better or worse than anything that I can see. That's fast! Even non-pace scholars like me can say that is a FAST pace for a nine furlong race, outside of Monmouth Park, of course.
This "bottoming out" stuff sounds like nonsense. Two ran and the others didn't. I can't see how you can ascribe this result to pace as opposed to what you might have come up with just looking at TG and never cracking open the Racing Form. He ran like a horse paying $2.80. Sorry. HP
