Smarty came home in an extrapolated 25:08, which was faster than Tapit. The track was muddy. He carried 2 less lengths than Borrego and the half mile mark has quick for that length race at Oaklawn. He may have gotten tired near the end. Regarding Tapits closing fraction, I have not believed the track was as kind to the horses at two turns as it was at one. That said the stretch at Aqueduct was obviously a good part of the track and its my belief that Tapits closing fraction was aided there. I make it slower than it appears vis a vie the other 9 mark races.
If you're looking for a nice final fraction. TCE and Lionheart both threw one and its the fact that makes me most prone to say they ran a big race in the Bluegrass.
