The above was clearly the case on the figures Dubya.
Brass Hat - Fastest
Super Frolic - Second Fastest
However, that post was before Alan chimed in late last night with the TFig implication on Electrocutionist. Prior to that, all I had to judge him on were Timeform ratings, (which I don't trust as much as American Speed Figures.) On Timeform however he was clearly a standout. FYI any Timeform rating of 125 or more is considered elite. And Electrocutionist had 3 Timeform ratings of 125+
After my post quoted by you above, Alan chimed in late last night with implied TFig speed on Electrocutionist that made him top three. His actually speed was not mentioned but primacy use of the language indicated he was top three and I'm sure this will be confirmed in the Red Board Room tomorrow.
Additionally, I have an on again, off again relationship with some very good speed figure handicappers and in discussions the last two nights they convinced me the Timeform ratings were accurate for Electro.
Lastly, He'd already accomplished it upon the track, as his breeding projected he would. He's a good horse, but I hope he comes here.
Dubya, I'm sure you are aware of the number of times I've not been shy about pointing out false favorites. High Limit, Bellamy Road, Leroidesanimeaux, Lost in the Fog, just to name a few. You say I love my voice and am not shy and there may be some truth to that. Do you really think I'd miss a chance to lambast an Even Money horse in a big race?
How many times did you have that tri?
I consider this matter closed.
Brass Hat
Super Frolic
