Thanks for pointing that out. I was waiting for the latest PACE FIGURES to come out so I could get my final opinion of the Preakness squared off. But thanks for pointing out the obvious -- your specialty.
As for the rest of it, you can make that case for just about any prolific winner: he/she beat a lot of nothings.
Tell you this much, BEYER BOY, there isn't a horse in history that has won ALL of its starts running the same way, like Z has. Sooner or later the SETUP or a BIAS gets all of them. That it hasn't to this point in her case, once again, indicates how special she really is.
P.S. were you consulted when Beyer decided to AD HOC change those POLY figs?
