So we are supposed to ignore how fast horses run when comparing horses?
Heck - if race record and accomplishment is all that matters ... we're even supposed to ignore a hell of a lot of other handicapping factors that are far more important than race record and accomplishment.
I don't blame people who bash final time figures from a betting standpoint - because they're priced into the odds .. and sometimes figuremakers get them wrong. However, when comparing horses from the last two decades ... there is without question no better starting point than asking 'how fast is the horse .. and how were his figures earned.'
