I agree with you.
Can't help where I was born, and I'm stubborn.

For the DeD race, I came up with 113 pace figure for the race and a 95 speed figure. This would give Z Humor about the same pace number, 113, while Turf War would get a 94.

This kind of race is precisely the reason I would never use speed figures alone. Of course, all you have to do is look at the horses in this race. Other than Z Humor, the horses filling out the superfecta where 7th, 9th, and 10th early in a 10 horse field. The horse that was 8th early was a hopeless 99 to 1 shot.
