I'm pretty well on the record regarding Dutrow, but I don't get the theme here..
The winner went :23, :23 (:46), :23.3 (1:09.3), :25.2 (1:35.0). That's :46 for the first half mile and :49 for the second half mile. In his 2nd start maidenbreak at Calder under Andrade, he got an 81 Beyer beating subsequent MSW winners Thank U Philippe (84 BSF) and Hear Ye Hear Ye (94 BSF). Saturday Homeboykris got an 89 Beyer, and the entire field behind him is right in line with the figures.
What's the outrageous shock exactly?

Ah, Steve, you're talking about a 2yo off of a 3 month layoff running a one-turn mile.
The horse paid over $13 for a reason ... and it's not like everyone in the world didn't know the horse would improve significantly beforehand.
Was it as dramatic as Silver Train, This One's For Phil, D' Funnybone ... no. But it was a move-up ... and it only doesn't seem outrageous because you pretty much knew going in that it would happen. It was just a matter if it would be good enough.
