Is there such a thing as a pseudo or false figure acquired by running a race such as the Breeders Cup last year where a runners time is greatly enhanced by running on the prefered path or alleged "golden rail." I guess you see this situation with sloppy tracks or off turf courses where a horse runs a huge # but it is only looked at in the context of the conditions run on.
My point being, is it possible SS's BC figure possibly inflated by running on the rail that day? If the -2 for the BC is solid, it must be a negative that SS is nowhere near his 2yo top?? In his 2 races since the BC,5 horses have been within a length or so of this guy at the finish line.
Everyone is quick to throw a race out or "draw a line through it" from time to time for various reasons. Am I crazy for wanting to draw a line through the BC-2.Every other race in this horses career looks very average. Tell me I'm crazy.
