I'm still hashing through the probability that both Closing Argument and Giacomo fired large tops on the same day with conduct altering Drug Testing in place. That would seem somewhat unlikely. Especially in consideration of the fact their figures would be all time fast "non drug" figures. My premise assumes that it was in 2001 that substances began significantly jumping horses up. In other words I am comparing their figures to Derby winning figures from 2000 and beyond. FuPig ran a 2 for instance.
This race is even harder to figure than the Wood or Bluegrass.
