"MO" I remember the discussion well. What I saw supported you're position. At the time I seem to recall Stevens was in a bit of a slump. But I've never really been comfortable with Pat Day being involved. I think Pat Day is an up and up guy both now and then. The kind of guy that wouldn't put himself in a position to be called a cheat, possessing the character to not sign goofy petitions. It certainly was an odd film. But Thunder won some big races after that so I'm inclined to think that if he was buzzed Pat Day didn't receive the buzzer and that Thunder was good enough to win without being buzzed., i.e. Belmont, Travers, Kentucky Classic.
I was only referring to the BRIS pace number. You get what you pay for. I think Lionheart will be in the 6/8-1 range and I factor him a significant contender. Assuming I'm correct about the pace, he's gonna get first run and what the others encounter may determine whether they get a run at him.
