Uncle Mo faster than BC Classic field on Ragozin
This is something that surely will never happen again - Uncle Mo (1.25) ran a faster Ragozin Sheet figure in his Juvie win than anyone in the BC Classic field. Blame (2.25) had the fastest Rag # of any horse in the Classic.
The reason why Uncle Mo is a little faster than the BC Classic field on Ragozin - but 3 points slower on Beyer is likely from the wind adjustment.
Just like on Thoro-Graph - Goldikova got the fastest Ragozin of any horse over the two days. A turf horse coming away with the fastest overall figure in a Breeders Cup event from both sheet figure companies would be another extreme rarity.
The pace was fast enough in the BC Classic to dismantle the four speeds - everyone else staggered by them - in an analytical sense, it was the dirt BC Classic edition that will go down in infamy. Certainly though - it was no eyesore to watch like all the figures will say.
