I will qualify this comment by saying that I thought Music Note looked like a legitimate Grade I filly yesterday, but this figure seems a bit high in comparison to other races yesterday (although I'm sure the card was a figure-maker's nightmare, given the weather conditions).

Very modest NY-breds in the 4th race went a mile in 1:36.4, exactly one second slower than Music Note ran a half-hour earlier (although there was a rain squall). What was the figure assigned to Rodeo Hand? Normally, I'd expect something in the mid-70s, but if Music Note was assigned a 97, then he should be in the mid-80s. Just wondering.
