Final times for the Ascot card today:
Race 1: 7 furlongs in 1:30.23
Race 2: 7 furlongs in 1:29.72
Race 3: 6 furlongs in 1:14.86 (Group 3)
Race 4: 1 mile in 1:41.04
Race 5: 7 furlongs in 1:26.85
Race 6: 12 furlongs in 2:26.78 (Group 1)
Race 7: 12 furlongs in 2:32.19
So, he ran 5.41 full seconds faster (or about 33 full lengths) than the winner of the very next race on the same day at the same distance.
He took a Group 1 by 11 lengths in track record time in a race where the 2nd place finisher won the Irish Derby last time out.
The 3rd place finisher has finished 2nd in the Arc three years in a row - and was beaten just a nose in a Group 1 last time out.
The 4th place finisher won a Group 1 race three starts back and was beaten just a neck in a Group 1 last time out.
The 5th place finisher won the English Derby by 7 lengths in record time last time out.
The winner carried 133lbs - while the winners of the Irish Derby and English Derby both got in at 121lbs ... a 12 pound weight break at the distance of 12 furlongs and still they couldn't get within 11 lengths today?
That winner is a total freak.
