A lot of upsets today.
Hopefully one of you guys got lucky.
Someone who is an inflexible speed figure player probably bet their entire bankroll on Beholder in the contest.
Beholder had a double digit edge in speed figures on CJ's, a double digit edge on Beyer's, and her last race was the fastest race ever by a 2yo filly in history on Thoro-Graph figures.
When Kauai Katie was rated back and surprisingly relaxing well ... it was basically just a matter of how far Beholder could carry her insane sprint speed with no pressure at all. The answer was far enough.
A lot of people (myself included) looked really, really, stupid when the pace battle never materialized and the four dominant horses came trotting home together.
