Which means by comparision, for what its worth BB would have beaten Shes All Eltish by 18 lengths. The race before was:

Times in 100ths: :24.35 :48.36 1:12.79 1:38.17 1:51.80

With all the talk about the girls beating the boys in times this year this puts another stamp on this race.

Big Brown ran a final time that yields a Beyer figure 33 points faster than the Bonnie Miss winner.

If upset winner She's All Eltish ran back to her 90 Beyer she ran last time, that puts Big Brown's figure at a Ghostzapper like 123.

However, it's obvious that the fairly moderate pace of the Bonnie Miss and the extremely fast pace of the Florida Derby had a big impact on the final times.

I just hit the pick 4. Should I act like a huge know-it-all douche right now?

Wowza, Man he was awsome! Is there a KY Derby Future board with him on it? I'm getting weak kneed on my Dennis of Cork wager.:confused:

Good point.

is the track still drying out or is it completely dry from all that rain last week?

Coach Pants 03-29-2008 05:57 PM

I'm not sure I should act like a douche. It paid a little lower than Big Brown's win. And I also posted exactly what I should bet.

I better wait and work on my douche skills. It just isn't cutting it this time.

I've stayed on the sidelines up until this point. Right now based on what I've seen this is the best 3 year old running.

It would be interesting to see what they did inbetween, because it was only what, 40 minutes until that last race??

Now I didn't say I'd bet him. But, that was an impressive performance.

;) he's a better, bet against

Believe your eyes. Smooth Air held on after being with the lead. He might get better with more distance, or at least hold on in the Derby. I like BB I liked Bellamy Road too.

I will hand time Electrify's race later.

They didn't post fractions for it.

Spyder

altho he looked good, the rest of the field wasn't much. but it was better than many performances from some of the other supposed derby horses.
what can stop him? that horse is unsound as the dollar.

I just watched the replay, there were fractions. 3/4 time was nearly identical to the Fla Derby.

Nice job by the supe completely changing the track for the big race.

I thought for sure he'd fold in the stretch. I had a 2-12-all triple
and a 2-12-all-all dime super.
