Now it was a slow pace? Please explain that in relation to the other six furlong races and their respective paces. You may also want to explain how the #1 horse closed from Lexington after getting completely left at the gate if the pace was indeed slow ( which it wasn't ).

By the way, I highly doubt any legitimate speed figures gave him a good number. Considering his ground saving trip I doubt Ragozin or Brown rated him particularly highly either.
