TGJB,
"Pace-- as I said late yesterday, the pace was hot. While it may very well have been a factor, it was not the overriding factor-- several who were far behind it did not run well. Some were trained by Pletcher and Zito."
And the ones that weren't close to it either were terrible to begin with, had shown little in the stretch of prior races and were suspect at 10F, or both.
Seriously JB, we all know there's a drug problem in racing. However, it stretches credibility to blame every bad/superior performance on drugs and every bad handicapping selection on the same. These are horses. Sometimes they run like crap for no reason. Sometimes they run like crap for very obvious reasons that just don't happen to show up in speed figures alone.
