It is a contrarian argument to the contrarian argument. I have heard for two weeks now that Bellamy Road did not run as fast as the Top Figure guys said he did and the entire field collapsed and regressed.
Lots of those were inner dirt types, plausible argument.
Now the Blue Grass, which on paper before the race was run was considered the best prep, we are hearing pretty much the same argument put forth. Bandini moved forward, Closing Argument maybe a little, and all the others collpased.
Herds of threes year olds are collapsing off form, trained by Lukas, Frankel, Zito, Biancone, and Shug as they prep towards the most important race of their lives.
Brown, Beyer and Friedman seem to be in pretty tight agreement (Beyer doesn't figure in ground loss in the BG) on these races.
Curious who the others are who disagree big-time and how their credentials stack up against those three. Doesn't mean the others are wrong.
