I saw the race,and thought Diabolical was best.I knew nobody wanted to read that (so I didn't write about it.) Diabolical was full of run,and for the most part the jock wasn't able to use it. I would imagine the figure for this race will be quite a bit lower than the one Thors got in the B.C. HE BEAT NIGHTMARE AFFAIR by less than a length today.He beat that same horse by 4 1/2 lengths with the inside bias on B.C. Day.THORS ECHO is a good horse,but the reason he drew off to win so easily in the B.C.(AND LESS EASILY IN THE DE FRANCIS) was the inside bias that he enjoyed on the BACKSTRETCH AT CHURCHILL.
