You disagree with the number yesterday?

It wasn't an easy day to make figures and their was a split ... but I think it had to be in the 112-to-115 range.

And there were no smoke and mirrors about the performance.

Hard to imagine her, or that race, being in the same area code as the Lakeway 117, Sharp Cat 119 or Akinemod 119.

It's actually pretty stupid.

Come to think of it, Riboletta's pairs of 115, I just can't see that as being just barely better than Icon Project's 114.

You'd need an ice pick stabbed into your frontal lobes, hooked up to a power drill for some stirring, to really believe that.

Going back to '92 ...

Fastest Beyer ever in a 10 furlong dirt race at Saratoga:

Male: Point Given 117

Female: Silverbulletday 115

Along this road of thinking, are you going to next suggest that Midway Road and his 124 aren't in the same class as Ghostzapper?

Midway Road's 123 Beyer came at Keeneland.. where he was a monster .. and it came going wire-to-wire through soft early fractions over a speed biased track.

He proved what everyone knew, that the race was phony, when he regressed to a 116 Beyer in his very next start.

Where are the smoke and mirrors with Icon Project?

I would never dare, since MR came back and ran a 116 next out.
