CMOrioles. He makes pace based speed figures and other than being an Orioles fan he's very sharp.

I agree with you.

I guess that proves you aren't perfect either.

Good point...but then again, I will always have BBB as handicapping idol.

I just checked out the replay of the Jackpot.

I can only wonder how Gomez finds the NUTS to face Mott and the owner (or their representatives) after the race. That had to be, hands down, one of the worst rides of the year. Incredible. For a (portion of a ) cool million, too.

Can't help where I was born, and I'm stubborn.

For the DeD race, I came up with 113 pace figure for the race and a 95 speed figure. This would give Z Humor about the same pace number, 113, while Turf War would get a 94.

This kind of race is precisely the reason I would never use speed figures alone. Of course, all you have to do is look at the horses in this race. Other than Z Humor, the horses filling out the superfecta where 7th, 9th, and 10th early in a 10 horse field. The horse that was 8th early was a hopeless 99 to 1 shot.
