beyerguy,
Did you make a pace figure for the race?
My quick guess was somewhere between 119-121 for a final time figure, but I didn't look at the times/figures for the other races. That was just a quick guess based on the winning margin vs. the figs Beyer gave them last time.
I can't wait to see the TG and Sheet figures.
Time to change the scale? :-)
I can't recall a faster Derby prep than this one, but before we coronate him let's remember that this was hardly a high quality field, he made a clear lead, front runners were holding well today (until of course all the jocks realized it and started gunning 43s). He'll also have to duplicate this performance (no easy task for any horse) and negotiate 10F against a field that's likely to contain at least one other horse that will keep him honest early. There's no way to not be impressed, but I can't see conceding the Derby because of 1 super fast race under very favorable conditions.
