Class,
You could also easily argue that each race is a separate event. Why is there anything left to "learn" from the BGrass? High Limit was hurt and Bandini didn't run. Bandini's performance could have nothing to do with the BGrass. Maybe he didn't like the track? Bad post?
This is the kind of thing that you write that I love...
"I guess Sun King's performance tilts towards the race not being all that fast, but there are plenty of other excuses that can be given for Sun King."
You realize you are saying absolutely nothing here, right? I mean these long posts where you sum things up and say NOTHING are hard to wade through. I keep thinking you're going to come up with something. If there are "plenty of other excuses" for Sun King's performance then it "tilts" the BGrass...nowhere, right?
You have nothing to say here, so why are you posting?
TG had the BGrass very fast, looking at his sheet before the Derby I thought he would back up. There was A LOT of stuff posted on this site about "big top" horses backing up badly in the Derby and Bandini ran a big top and backed up badly in the Derby. Really the stuff posted by Chris and others was great, specific and useful. Absolutely the opposite of the stuff you post, where you pile unfounded assumptions on top of unfounded assumptions, and after the race, you continue to work your way backwards through your unfounded assumptions over and over again.
"We'll learn more about these horses later in the year if they stay healthy."
Words to live by.
