Some are saying the Wood wasn't a good prep, but comparing the times to the handicap race for older horses later on, the Wood doesn't seem slow at all. One would expect the older horses to go faster, but it doesn't seem they went that much faster. Anyone have an idea what T-G number Magna Graduate got and what number NoBiz got (and more importantly what are par numbers for those races)?
Wood: 23.28, 23.98, 23.76, 25.12, 12.44 (1:49.46)
Older
Stakes: 23.78, 22.22, 23.38, 24.96, 12.70 (1:48.10)
NoBiz looked very healthy to me and very stout like he's coming up to the triple crown in a good way. He certainly didn't look to have spent himself at all in the Wood either. Anyone have any thoughts on this???
