You know, Tiago looked pretty good over the weekend. I think he has a real shot in the classic (if he goes).

That was Tiago's highest beyer. It's not unreasonable to think he can make one more jump.

It's a synthetic track number there is no way to tell what happens when he gets back to the dirt. Tiago is pretty slow isn't he?

Well you never know how he may progress from Synthetic to Dirt. It seem to work for Street Sense twice now. I see no reason why Tiago couldn't improve. Besides, the race may fall apart on the front end and Tiago may pick up the pieces. You never know that is why people make them race so we can find out the answers to such pressing questions.

you might be right, the number could be low based on the same logic. I think its hard to watch him in his last two and think he has not improved at all. He is better then his brother and his brother finished 4th last year in this race.

I find it interesting that Fabulous Strike got a 114 and Globilization got a 97 for winning a maiden race earlier on in the card.

Fabulous Strike ran a final time 23 Beyer points faster...yet the margin between the two was only 17 points.

Don't synthetic tracks play a little slower? His time for the GoodWood was 1:46 and change. That is very very very solid.

I don't know if he can win the classic but I wouldn't ignore him either. Use in exotics and if he won the classic I would be surprised but not shocked.

The new Cushion track at Santa Anita is like lightning - even faster than the old dirt runway from what i hear.
