Class,

You give the SAME interpretation to every result though. Of course, there is free speech on this board and I shouldn't have asked you to stop posting about pace.

But really, there are so many things that affect outcomes, you seem to retrofit EVERY race to the pace.

I am sure many on this board do put more credence in pace than Jerry does, but pace is not the explanation for every result. And I don't know why you would want to post on the thorograph board that it is the reason for every race.

Look at the Oaks again. You really think Summerly walked on an easy lead. She didn't. She ran a nice race, under pressure and pulled away nicely. Good ride by Bailey.

But the race fits nicely with the T-Graph figures. As I said before, Sis City and Summerly both ran "3" tops before the AShland. Sis City freaked in the race, Summerly didn't seem to like Keenland, not even showing her usual speed.

Sis City maybe bounced off the big effort in the Oaks and Summerly ran back to her "3" (maybe, we will see when the figures come out). The point is that "pace" is not the explanation for that race.

Arguing pace in the Derby is a much better debate. It certainly did play a part, who knows how much. Which is what might make the Preakness a good betting opportunity.
