I can't DL the file at work -- anyone know what the numbers were for Ginger Punch and Hystericalady?

I know lots of people said Hystericalady would have to be several lengths better than anyone to win this, and it appeared that she was, but just not quite enough the best to overcome the post.

Ginger Punch received a .5 .. Hystericalady got a negative 1.5
Huge difference for winner and 2nd place. Ginger Punch never left the rail, Hystericalady was 4 wide on first turn.

When you consider that War Pass went 1:09.65 during the running of an 8.5f race, Midnight Lute's 1:09.18 less than 90 minutes later is not that impressive OR War Pass was extremely impressive.

War Pass was that impressive. He's really good.

I think it's weird that Midnight Lute ran a 1:09 and got a -7, while Curlin ran 2:00 2/5 and only got a -4. Two different distances, I know, but that still doesn't add up.

Comparing raw times on different parts of the track at different distances, especially given the condition of the the track, is pure folly.

Okay. Wasn't trying to prove anything. Just thought it was interesting.

That's what I figured. She was definitely my top choice, even knowing she would have to be much the best to win. She was -- and I knew that during the stretch, she just got killed by the post.

Thanks for the info!

Steve and I also had her on top as well, and we discussed after the race- she would have gotten taken down anyways so it's almost better we were spared the ignonomy and pain.
