Some slow 3yo and it is cause no one wants to talk about Magnificience only beating her stablemate cause Mike Smith admitted after the race that he stopped on the horse so she didn't win.

"Some slow 3 yr. old" REALLY! In the last five years, only Barbaro was faster in The Kentucky Derby. That's a little extreme.

Good to know that Jazil and Birdstone are two of the three best winners of the Belmont in the past 13 years.

If you are using Beyers then the figure should have been 104. While with a clean trip he could have run 109 he certainly didn't under the circumstances.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that when I factored in his trip. Thanks for bringing this new fact to light.
