This figure today for Bodemeister is going to be sensationally fast as well.
He got the same exact loose lead trip that he had in his maiden win where he got the chiseled down looking figure of 99 that could have more easily been a 105.
Oaklawn Park Handicap: 1:49.94 (Alternation by 2.5 lengths over last out SA Handicap winner Ron The Greek)
Ark Derby: 1:48.71 (Bodemeister by 9.5 lengths over Secret Circle)
Bodemeister will get a figure today 12 points faster than Alternation. 15 points faster than Secret Circle and 16 points faster than Ron The Greek.
Alternation was coming in off of back-to-back 100's. Secret Circle was coming in off of a 92 and 102. Ron The Greek was coming in off of a breakaway speed duel aided 105 and didn't get pace help today.
The sheet style numbers will continue to look great for Secret Circle because he carried 122lbs VS 117-to-118 for the other three horses (abt 1.75 lengths in weight on sheets) and he raced 3-to-4 wide on both turns...but he badly needs a freshening and has no shot of getting any piece in the Derby with these same wide-stalking back trips.
