He didn't corner well in his maiden victory, but he sure didn't look beaten at the top of the stretch like he did yesterday.

He 'rebroke' to come home the last quarter in :25.2?
I'm pretty well on the record regarding Dutrow, but I don't get the theme here..
The winner went :23, :23 (:46), :23.3 (1:09.3), :25.2 (1:35.0). That's :46 for the first half mile and :49 for the second half mile. In his 2nd start maidenbreak at Calder under Andrade, he got an 81 Beyer beating subsequent MSW winners Thank U Philippe (84 BSF) and Hear Ye Hear Ye (94 BSF). Saturday Homeboykris got an 89 Beyer, and the entire field behind him is right in line with the figures.
What's the outrageous shock exactly?
