However, given her pedigree, her performance at Belmont last fall, and her nice race on Friday, I think it would be interesting to see them take a shot with her against the boys in the Belmont Stakes. I think she might have a chance. |

I friggen love this horse. I met Mark Russell, the owner, a day or two after a "more than $500,000" offer came in for the horse back in 2009. I think it was the week before the Gotham, which he ran 5th in. Anyway, the owner said "It wasn't enough money. We're gonna make a $1,000,000 with him, even if we have to do it $30k at a time."
That's exactly what they are doing with him. He keeps picking up checks. Fun Fact: The horse is named for the road where he was born, not the owner. |

So I don't make figures, and I'm not questioning those who do, but I would love to understand how Apart and Royal Delta end up with 100, but Shackleford gets a 104. Thanks.

The real question is how Apart and Super Espresso both got a 100. The figuremaker is suggesting the track slowed down about 6-7 points between race 8 and race 10. I don't agree with that.

Different day, not comparable. You'd need to compare the time to Friday's other results.

It's just odd - at least in my head - that the slowest Preakness since 1993 would result in a lifetime top for the winner.

But also one of the lower Beyer figs.

That isn't an issue. Would it be fair to say it was his lifetime best effort? Without a doubt. He ran huge. The number makes a lot of sense from that perspective. And it also means Animal Kingdom ran close to his Derby win, which is also a fair assessment.

Dale Romans doesn't get enough credit. In the last five Triple Crown races he has finished third, second, third, fourth and first.
He knows how to bring them up to a big race with their top effort. |

What's most impressive about that to me is that it has been with three different horses.
