couldn't it just be that Benny's the best sprinter in the world? and even though the front-runner may have had a tactical advantage it wasn't enough to overcome his lesser ability compared to the winner?

it was a day filled with some very nice performances, but one that stands out to me is J Be K. He dueled between horses through fast fractions for about five furlongs, before drawing off by about five in less than 1:22 time.

someone may have mentioned this but the six furlong split in this race (1:08.78) was faster than the final time of the True North, 1:09.06

that was a big effort.

I noticed that also, I'm sure someone will weigh in and clarify the varying track variants with races later in the day, but that was one very good performance by the highweight which again sorry if I sound like a broken record, you just have to wonder how good Harlem Rocker is or can be.
