>Not that I'm going to get drawn into this yet again, but what Belmont race for RIM-- the only time he ran there was as a 3yo. If you mean the Whitney at Sar,>

My mistake. It was the Saratoga race. I know you gave him a fairly big figure, but I said at the time (and several other people agreed) that that was one of the best performances by an older horse at a route this year. That was a brutal pace and he hung very gamely. I think his Breeder's Cup race was simply a pairing of that effort. It was that Saratoga effort that made me so interested in him for the BC. I knew he was better than he looked on "everyone's" speed figures. He just wasn't as good as Ghostzapper. I think that was a very easy exacta. (even though I didn't play any exactas - just had the Ghost to win)

Rag's figure was ridiculous.
