JIM & CtC,
I couldn't agree more with your observations on the figs awarded in the Bluegrass.There will be the usual explanations which make make perfect sense to the fig maker.
Racing reality is that Bandini didn't come close to Smarty's best. Sun King X'd(never raised a hoof) according to Zito and Prado but both claim a brutal trip contributed to the poor performance.
High Limit did not come close to his previous performance regardless of what any fig says.Three fig makers including Beyer have it the way we saw it also.
