OOOPS- Correcto - my apologies. Should have clarified better. Both Sun King and Consol. were 8.5F preps but FF or final FRACTION (i.e. 2 1/2 furlongs in 8.5F race; 3 furlongs in 9F) were extremely strong.
Using unadjusted times with reagrd to variant, but adjusted for beaten lengths.
A little raw right now, but Sun King's Tam Dby final fraction went in 30.4 or 54.3 FPS and Cons was in 30.2. These are very fast races and put them both in the "strong contenders" column, at least for now.
If Afleet Alex broke through and not over the top on Saturday, look out. That was a monsterous effort.
