Default Uncle Mo faster than BC Classic field on Ragozin

This is something that surely will never happen again - Uncle Mo (1.25) ran a faster Ragozin Sheet figure in his Juvie win than anyone in the BC Classic field. Blame (2.25) had the fastest Rag # of any horse in the Classic.

The reason why Uncle Mo is a little faster than the BC Classic field on Ragozin - but 3 points slower on Beyer is likely from the wind adjustment.

Just like on Thoro-Graph - Goldikova got the fastest Ragozin of any horse over the two days. A turf horse coming away with the fastest overall figure in a Breeders Cup event from both sheet figure companies would be another extreme rarity.

The pace was fast enough in the BC Classic to dismantle the four speeds - everyone else staggered by them - in an analytical sense, it was the dirt BC Classic edition that will go down in infamy. Certainly though - it was no eyesore to watch like all the figures will say.

Could Mo have come home in 26 flat off a 36 and 1 mile if he ran in the Classic? If so, he would have been in the photo. Tall order for a 2 yo but who knows?

He probably would have been in a photo with QR if he ran in there.

And if Zenyatta had run in the Juvy male race, she'd have been in a photo for 3rd. Maybe 2nd.

No U R if you think Mo would have had any shot at all hitting the board in the BC Classic.

Uh, I believe your original comment was that he would have finished in a photo with Quality Road for last. Or words to that effect.

Ateam saying you are clueless was a comment about your saying Mo would have ran last, when in reality, he would have been closer to the winner than to the last place horse. Actually, that last part is me, not Ateam.

Are you even aware of what you post? Or do you hallucinate meaning to what people say here?

I think it's a combination of both, but mostly the latter (latter being the second of those two options, JIC you didn't know).

For instance, when I say you are a moronic buffoon who'd be lucky to hold Smooth Operators jock strap after a minute of water sports with hot chicks, I'm not saying you are smart. I'm in fact, saying you are drooling idiot who somehow has a vocabulary greater than 35 words.

It is same type of thinking that says the best college football team could beat the worst team in the NFL.
Which a lot of people believe is possible.

Indian Charlie. You may be too dumb to grasp this post, so I won't get into why a 2yo w a fast sheet wouldn't beat a horse home in the classic. No wonder I can make money gambling w a moron like you betting into the pools.

I was trying to make a point Jack.

That being said, I seem to remember this book I had as a kid called "The Way it Was". It was a sports book recounting big moments in sports, like the shot heard round the world.

I seem to remember a college team beating the pros several decades ago

No wonder why I have a headache everytime I read a post from you.

Are you really this incapable of using your brain, to see that Mo wouldn't have lost the Classic by 30 lengths, which is the margin QR lost by?

You thinking a 2yo with no prior route experience stretching out to 10f and beating anything in the BC Classic is pure comedy.

Well, most people think I am funny.

Do you really believe that a horse that can rate and stay relaxed until the very moment the jock pushes the button to go would somehow go from running what he did in the BC Juvy to losing by 30 over the same track?

It's not like he was some loose on the lead horse that stole the race and would have had to contend with a field full of speed. I find it nearly impossible to believe he would have run a 2 minutes and 8 second race with his style and ability.
