Fabulous Strike

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I believe the record for fastest Thoro-Graph sheet figure ever run is a negative 7 by Midnight Lute.

Ghostzapper has a pair of negative 6.50's.

Looking at today's Vosburgh ... there's a slight chance Fabulous Strike has a shot to reach that kind of number on what was a very tricky day to make figs.

2nd place finisher Go Go Shoot ran a negative 5 on TG the last time he made an early lead like he did today - and that was two starts back.

3rd place finisher Kodiak Cowboy ran a negative 5 on TG in his last start. And ran a career top of negative 5.50 at Saratoga last year.

Fabulous Strike gave 8lbs (1.92 lengths on TG) and a path of ground on the turn (1 length on TG) to Go Go Shoot - and he beat him by 1 length.

Fabulous Strike gave 3lbs (0.72 lengths) and even ground to Kodiak Cowboy and beat him by 2.25 lengths

So, his sheet figure will reflect him running 3.92 lengths faster than Go Go Shoot and 2.97 lengths faster than Kodiak Cowboy.

He also ran an eye popping 2.01 seconds (29 Beyer points) faster than Game Face did in victory in the Grade 2 Honorable Miss 30 mintues prior.

His lifetime best TG figure was a negative 6 earned at Mountaineer during his 3-year-old season.

Nice to see him still running big races now as a 6-year-old. I consider him the second most exciting horse in the sport today.. and you won't see him in the BC either.
