5 of Blame's last 6 Beyers were in that range - and 4 of 5 Fly Down's last five starts were.
Obviously Uncle Mo would have got soundly beaten in the Classic because he's a speed horse and would have been forced to deal with the other four horses battling it out who all got beat by a mile... but this race was as sub par as it gets.

My point is that I think if the race went earlier in the day, they run 2:01 1/5 or so rather than 2:02 1/5.
