Randall I guess it fell a little short of zapper's Met huh?
The problem with taking this great race at face value based on time was the speed of the surface, and the fact that awarding DC a zapper number would mean that both Badge and Silver Train ran near career bests as well. This was my opinion on why the race wasn't as fast fig wise as the raw time screamers wanted you to believe.
An exceptional performance(especially visually, he had gears, and stopped and started at will, now THAT impresses me more than the time) but Badge and Silver, in my opinion, are not the horses they once were and I had a hard time believing that moster of all figs was run yesterday with both of those getting beat three lengths.
Fig sounds about right, and it was a great performance.
