Your comments about EOD's races this year have merit and that's why I'd love to have TG numbers for them-we'll see. I'm drawing a line right thru EOD's BC race and considering it an effort to bad to be a true indication of how he will run in the derby. To me the Norfolk was a better race than the final time indicates and I guess as fastspeed mentioned the Byer and TG number may be a better indication of the effort than the time. Who was it that said "its not how fast they run but how they run fast".
He sure beat a nice horse in Roman Dancer in the Norfolk.
As for the Gladness I did not see the race but what I read was that there was a steward's inquiry and apparantly the winner got the worst of whatever happened which may have made the race closer than if she got a clean trip. I'm edging toward the opinion that both Castle and Johannasburg got just what they needed out of their races to run well next out.
