will disagree with that.

Bayern ran like a short horse. He was seemingly "put away" by a lousy longshot, then found a bit more run in the stretch. Don't think the distance was the problem. Either not as good as some thought or a short horse. Take your pick.

Tread,

You keep saying "a bunch about the same on figures", and this is the thorograph board, but so I guess that is in accurate statement in the context of where you are posting it, but in "performance" on track, this is not even close.

Any fool that thinks that General A-Rod is as faster or faster than California Chrome shouldn't be playing this game, I don't care what the TG figure is.

I am not necessarily saying TGJB has the figures wrong, but you have to assess the performance holistically. PHony ground loss that isn't relevant in the way the race was run will inflate a figure. Running with or against a bias affects a performance but isn't part of the figure. Pressing a pace will affect a figure. Lots of factors.

There is no way that anybody out there is in the same league as California Chrome right now.

That doesn't mean he has to translate that form to Churchill or at 1 1/4. But he is the best right now. Period. There is no "bunch of horses at the same ability".
