Thanks.
He was involved in back to back insane pace battles. Here are the pace figures for his last two races on the 100 point scale.
Breeders Futurity:
Race (+37): 102 for a half mile, 93 for six furlongs 65 for final time
Laddie's Boy: 99 for a half, 89 for six furlongs, 55 final time
Iroquois:
Race (+29): 94 for a half, 81 for six furlongs, 65 final time.
Laddie's Boy: 94 for a half, 81 for six furlongs, 61 final time.
When the Pace Projector looked like this today:
All it really took was for him to relax a little on the early lead, and he won clear at 12/1 odds. Just wish the 4th place horse Rope A Dope had run one length better to complete the exacta.
