They went the last 1/4 in 22 and change. When in comparison, Showing Up went the last quarter in 24 and 1, so an argument can be made that Cacique's race was better, especially when considering competition. I usually don't look to much into times when handicapping, but I definitely feel as though Gorella's performance was enhanced by the swift pace she was able to close into.

Comon, man.....Showing up ran like 15 lengths faster than The Tin Cup through the first six furlongs of the race, yet he still ran a faster overall time in the end....tomato/tomatoe, man....You still haven't answered the question of how Film Maker failed to match strides with Gorella closing into that fast pace.....Film Maker is a VERY respectable turf mare in the world with two very respectable BC F&M Turf finishes, yet Gorella's closing kick dwarfed Film Maker's and she won with complete ease at the wire.....just the facts....
Bottomline: I almost stake my ability to evaluate horse racing that Gorella will effectively get 1 3/8 miles....
