21.59, 43.30, 1:07.48, 1:20.46 at Aqueduct is not fast? The four and six marks are searing! Medalist and Don Six are good horses but debateable 7 mark horses. They got picked up by a "good" horse. This race is close to track record as well.

BR tied a mark by Riva Ridge set what 30 years ago plus and tracks are slower!!!

Jerry, with all due respect that track was other worldy by the 8th and 9th the other horses in the 9th just weren't positioned to toss a good effort in. That track carried a decent horse a long way in very fast time but it happened in part because it was very, very quick.

If you average for the day, I agree, the surface wasn't overly fast. But I dont think the other horses on the day were of any significant quality. (Mainly MSW and NW1X - Foggy excepted and he back pedaled in his race)

You're implication is that BR may have run off the 3yo chart. I dont think that happened, and if it did, I'm discounting it. I'm gonna beat this horse Jerry, if you went off the chart with him consider making it public. You're influetial and Beyer already has him at 119. He's not gonna be near 5-1 so theres no reason to not let it out.
