Johnny...I think there was at least one horse from Parx that held form. It was my horse in the Sprint Favorite Tale.....when the number comes in from the Sprint, I'm fairly confident Favorite Tale will have the best figure. I knew I was up against it on wide going in.

I'm about out of posts for the day, so here I'll also state that I do believe the Classic fell apart on the bias...however even if they engage AP early it may not have been enough...AP's priors were no faster than others in the race and those others just weren't close. A Mass Regression may have also played a role....The alternative being Tonalist, Honor Code, Keen Ice and Frosted scored their -3's and Effinex got a -4 or -5 and AP receives a -6 or so.

Trying to remember the name of the Zito front runner that scored real high figs @ Keeneland when left unchallenged. (Commentator) In the end you have to take on the high speed cruisers or the pace makes for figures that are going to be hard to reconcile.

You'd think the others in the race would know that, maybe second place money was their objective.
