IMHO, I think that that all things considered, 10 pound weight difference, ground saving trip for War Emblem, wide trip for Repent, speed favoring track; Repent's figure might be a lot closer to War Emblem's for that race. He did have 4 1/2 on the third (fastest)horse at the wire and he was coming in off paired 3's with no work over the track. I think his race was better than it looked. Now he goes back to his favorite track and gets 4 weeks rest. Came home actually surprised me and I now give him more respect.
