Patterns?
You seriously want to discuss Patterns and mention Greeley's Galaxy in the same breath?
Greeley's Galaxy didn't have a pattern in his Past Performances. He had a "One Time" factored upon the losing efforts of Monarch Lane and Magna Graduate. Subsequent to that effort he worked a mile for the Kentucky Derby and stopped running before the work distance was completed. He made nice middle moves in the Derby and Preakness and stopped in both like a horse trying to cross Silver Charm's "A bridge too far". He was a non factor in the Malibu and then ran a 3 and finished a weakening 3rd in the 1-1/16th San Fernando.
Saturday, Greeley's Galaxy had to run 1-1/8. He ran about 1-1/16, what made anyone believe their was a Pattern to read or that he really wants that much ground? And this doesnt even consider the legitimacy of the Negative 2 in the Illinois Derby.
Wanna talk about Patterns and One times? Look at Brass Hats Figures. As a three year old he repeated Negative .5's in different form cycles. He was then injured and came back a year later. In his comeback his figures "forged" from
4
0
Negative .5
The last equaling his 3YO top. What kind of race did you expect in the Donn with the plethora of speed present? The only issue was the track condition and this horse has carried it's track with him.
If we learned something in the Strub, maybe it was this: "Dont' take 7-2 on a "One Time" when theres been no evidence the horse wants to repeat it and other horses in the race have faster figures than the One Timers second best."
Dang, betting against Stevie Wonder was good for another cash or two. Now he's out.
