Fabulous Strike doesn't have anything close to the kind of raw speed Sea of Pleasure has.
Sea of Pleasure broke his maiden with a track record time of 20 3/5ths in one of those 2yo MSW race at SA last year - he got his second quarter in 9 and change....and was ahead by a pole on the gallop out.
It's one thing to run 20 3/5ths on natural dirt - but to do it in a racing situation without the aid of a big run-up is pretty impressive.
