That's spectacular news for I Want Revenge fans, as another 105+ speed fig was unnecessary for him, would attract more interest from the casual Derby bettors who may only understand the simplicity of speed figures, thus bring down his value.

In horse racing, as in everything it seems, the public's interest and adoration is short lived. There are still a few (weak) preps that might produce a high Beyer or a touching, feel-good type of horse(y) story that might deflect money elsewhere

With the quarter crack to Quality Road, IWR might be fine value if Quality Road is in the gate and sucking money. ( I agree with another poster on the QR quarter crack thread that betting horses having even minor injury bumps this close to the Derby results in a poor ROI)`
