speed does not win this race, it outs you in a position to win the race, as the article above also says.
they are running for the first time 440 yards longer, and these two where bred to run slower longer
look at the level of competition wolffy and jazil have faced.
they have run all spring behind the best of the crop
they have closed consistently on many tracks
in the derby both ran their highest beyers of the spring,
jazil paired two 97's, and wolfy a 98.
was there ever a horse on a steady progressive beyer path, that faced such good quality horses such as wolfy, who hasn't
tripled digit beyered by now. this is the race he has trained all year for.
