Yeah, any time deep closers get a pace that fast in front of them - that's typically when they are able to run lifetime top Beyers.
Here are what the running lines will look like for the horses in that race:
RC: 1st by 2, 1st by 4, 1st by 8.5, 1st by 0.75 lengths
Giant Oak: 7th by 17, 7th by 19, 5th by 14, 2nd by 0.75 lengths
A. U. Miner: 6th by 15, 6th by 17, 3rd by 11, 3rd by 1 length
Going Ballistic: 8th by 19, 8th by 20, 6th by 18, 4th by 16.5 lengths
Racing Bran: 4th by 8, 4th by 13, 7th by 21, 5th by 27.75 lengths
Shadowbdancing: 3rd by 4, 3rd by 6, 2nd by 8.5, 6th by 52.5 lengths
Arcodoro: 2nd by 2, 2nd by 4, 4th by 13, 7th by 71.5 lengths
Temple City: 5th by 9, 5th by 16, 8th by 31, 8th by 90.25 lengths
The horse who was 2nd after a half mile was beaten 71.5 lengths
The horse who was 3rd after a half mile was beaten 52.5 lengths
The horse who was 4th after a half mile was beaten 27.75 lengths
The horse who was 5th after a half mile was beaten 90.25 lengths
They got fuclKed the fucl< up by that pace RC set. Amazing he held on to win the race after that. The two deep closers who weren't fractued by that pace were both in another county early.
Going Ballistic is a millionaire - who's probably most famous for upsetting Grasshopper in the Super Derby one race after Grasshopper gave Street Sense a dogfight in the Travers .. friggen Going Ballistic never got within 16.5 lengths of Redding Collirey at any point in the entire race .. and yet he still managed to finish in the top half of the field.
