The problem I have is he gave the horse a figure he thought was relative to his ability, not relative to how fast he ran on that day. I heard he lowered the number from 125 to 112 based on the horse not being able to run a 125, but clearly on that surface the horse freaked and ran a crazy number, it happens.
