Simple (maybe not) question for Ask The Experts
Many similarities between Materiality and Summer Bird and a few maybe big differences... Who has(had) a better pattern going into the Belmont?
Facts:
both unraced at 2
both 3 starts then derby then belmont
both tops in derby prep and regression in derby
SB first start 7 weeks later (less spacing into derby)
SB top a 7.5 pt leap
Mat top a 2.75 pt hop
Mat top of neg 2 is 3 pts faster than SB top
Mat derby regression larger at 4 pts with SB at 1.75 pts

Note any Mat excuses in derby is not relevant to question; he ran a 2
Several angles to consider re Mat but this is striclcty about the TG pattern
