Nah, I don't think so. I think that mentioning one nine-furlong race and completely ignoring the other is misleading.

And why is one extremely fast race more relevant than one extremely slow race? Electrify wins in 1:47 4/5 and that means the track was a freeway, but Shes All Eltish goes 1:51 4/5 and that's irrelevant?

Personally, I don't think either race means a whole hell of a lot in analyzing Big Brown's performance. I'm not gonna go nuts over Big Brown's time based solely on Shes All Eltish's, but I'm also not gonna call it phony based solely on Electrify's.
