thats not true at all,
if you remember back in time, i posted giacomo was Romans leading horse based upon his time data. he had the fastest time
predicted to 10f. i posted 4 of the 6 top runners. but it didn't matter because my bets didn't include closing argument. the only reason i bet gicamo then, and broke even on the day, was because of his fast times projected to 10f.

further, his times to 10f where primarily projeted off races from 8 to 9f. he had some of the best times at 8, 8.5 and 9f,
the question for me 2 derbies back was could he get the distance, not was he fast enough.

granted he has had surgery, and may not be as quick,
will he win this, prolly not, hit the board, i think so
TODAY, but again i need PP data, should be free on delmar site later today.
