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?
For the record, I bet the horse. Visually, without the other pertinent facts that you just presented, it just appeared he was done at the top of the stretch. Visuallly, it appeared he re-broke, although as you just stated, it was probably far more that the others were slowing down, as opposed to Homeboy Kris speeding up.
