beyerguy,
"Horses that try to keep up with superior horses and are unable usually falter, that's all I was saying."
I agree 100%.
Miff, i think you made a good point about Survivalist. I feel similarly.
I think Survivalist, wind, and no other 9F race to compare it to is what makes this figure so interesting.
The fact of the matter is that I'm not going to pay all that much attention to this figure anyway. To me the horse ran super, but it was under favorable conditions. Between the complexities of getting the figure perfect to begin with, plus the conditions it was earned under, I think it's enough to know it was a terrific performance, but one that will be extremely difficult to duplicate first Saturday in May. If they make him a solid favorite off this figure, I'm going to bet against him.
