Quality Road's (negative) 7.5 fastest Thorograph fig ever
Not sure if I agree with that assessment, even if the margin of victory agrees with something close to it. Jerry Brown on TVG right now discussing it and says he "hates giving out numbers like this."

Ghostzapper ran the fastest TG number ever. Midnight Lute ran the fastest TG number ever. Quality Road is the 6th horse since '02 to run the fastest TG number ever.

Brown believes horses are faster then they were. He thinks surfaces are much slower then then used to be. I didnt follow the sport to closely in the past to know cushion size at Belmont in 1973 vs. 2010?

I think a horses ability should be judged in relation to how horses at every other commonly run class level are performing.
If you believe that Quality Road's Donn was the single fastest performance ever run by a race horse ... you must also believe that claiming horses of today would routinely trounce great horses like Easy Goer and Sunday Silence with ease.
