Don't see the Pinpoint race. Oversight or proprietary interest?...lol

Didn't notice you had put it up, but with all the two turn races anyone questioning how you guys scored it out ought to have their head examined. The X horses you referred to in the Preakness certainly look like X horses. Who wants to argue against that? The only issue would be the lost ground for the top two Preakness finishers but that can't be scored. Though it looks to be about a point or so. Thought Scrappy was very much wrapped up late though.

Giacomo validated his previous number and though some questioned the Derby number it might be time to concede upon it. Wide still helped him there though.

The other validating figure looks to be Sun King's 2. Certainly not top class but fast enough to believe his Bluegrass number was in line as well.
