I'm suggesting or postulating that the figure for the B.C. Classic may be inaccurate to a certain degree. I fully realize I could be wrong in that theory. I've been wrong many times before when I've taken such a position.
I really don't want to get into an analysis of the Whitney. I'd have to break the days full card down and I don't want to do that. I will state its pretty obvious that Perfect Dread lacks the killer instinct this year. Perfect Dread also ran the fastest raw time splits in the Whitney he ever ran and the early pacesetter was "Yessirgeneralsir". I'll leave it at that. (I'm fully aware of Bwana Charlies 1:09:2 in the sprint.)
What if the B.C. Classic was figured about 2 full points too fast? What if the track in drying became faster than some may have thought. If the winner ran closer to negative 2 and Azeri's best was about negative 1.5. how far from a competitive showing was she? How much more competitive would she have been on form and winging on the lead? And when you contemplate that question, contemplate it upon that track on that day, at that time.
I want to say something here. TGJB is the only figure man that holds the opinion that a racetrack is a living breathing thing. I am of the same opinion.
