This is the question I struggle with most. Can the thoro-pattern be taken at face value? Doesn't matter what figs you use, BG Cat's last race is too bad to be believed. But did he get anything out of it? This seems like a huge question. The horse got down to a real low number in a 1M stakes as a 2YO, won the Remesen @9F with a good number, and has only moved forward off his 2YO top a limited amount to a number that says he can be a factor. The one thing I have found to point too is that I don't think any Derby winner has ever run THAT bad in their final prep. 2nd? 3rd? 4th?
