Showing Up huge workout

[slotdirt]

Has anybody ever done any statistical analysis on the correlation between bullet works and actual success on the track?

Showing Up runs bullets all the time. Nothing new for him. And he wins all the time, nothing new for him.

All the time?

That's a one horse example though. I mentioned Joey P having the bullet of 69 workouts a couple weeks ago, but he got waxed on the track. Funny Cide seems to always have bullet works, yet again, he was getting waxed on the track ona pretty frequent basis.

I don't pay attention to the times normally as much as I do how they looked working... I want to SEE the horse work. For example, I liked Hemingway's Key in the Preakness because of how he looked working and he didn't finish too shabby.

Yes, that is absoultely correct. There is no way of knowing if the work was good without seeing the work. I remember Going Wild looked really bad in his final workout before the Ky Derby last year. He worked :59 2/5, but he wasn't moving well and he didn't do it all that easily.
