If BBBG had any real buzz to him - why wasn't he favored in that horrendous looking MSW race at Bay Meadows - and why wouldn't the stronger part of the entry debut at Hollywood and the weaker part at Bay Meadows?
The Final Roar would have won that very soft BM race by a few lengths - and I think might have been shorter than 8/5 doing it.
Either way - it annoyed me that I lost value on BBBG because I would have bet him debuting against anyone in any kind of spot.

They actually both cost the same. They both sold for $65k at OBS March. BBBG was showing the faster works. He was showing a :47 2/5 bullet work from the gate. BBBG got a lot of action in the race at BM. They bet him down to 8-5 from his 5-2 morning line.
I know that Pete has always thought that BBBG was the much better horse of the two. I don't know why he decided to run BBBG up North and not the other horse. I will find out though. I agree with you that The Final Roar would have won the race up North.
