I agree with TGJB here. I don't see how Congaree's run on Saturday can be tied back in any way to his Wood performance a year and a half ago. Same track, but completely different circumstances. The fact is, Baffert can crank them up like no other trainer in history (for better or for worse), and you have to bet accordingly (meaning sometimes you have to take a guess)........ As for Congaree's performance on Saturday, I thought it was the most impressive horse race I have ever seen. I think the second, third and fourth place finishers will all prove to be great milers. I doubt Congaree will ever run back to that number, but looking at the way the races were going on Saturday, I thought there had to be some mistake when I saw the final time (final quarter in 24 and change, after being used virtually the entire race??).
