Not reading closely through what was already written so shoot me if something has been covered or if this isn't relevant, but. . .
This is probably the worst possible case to use for attacking figures considering the players involved.
D'bigcat, who was a pretty obvious claim considering the amount of speed he showed at the sales and at two, followed up his 90 two back with an 89 at a distance that isn't his best yesterday. And wasn't he an MTO on the 16th? Broken Home, the only other horse to run back out of the race on the 16th, came back to run 5 points higher after being claimed FROM Dub and Chip Dutrow.
Nothing the Cactus did is worth anything considering his behavior throughout the race, but the big fig he earned doesn't seem that out of whack considering the surface and distance changes - especially since he showed an inability to rate on the turf.
