For a speed horse - It's WAY harder to get 7fs or a one-turn mile this time of year - than it is to get 8.5f or 9f.

Even Bob Black Jack was right there with Colonel John in the Santa Anita Derby - and he's a true speed sprinter.

I wouldn't use BBJ being close to Colonel Tiago as a good example to illustrate your point at all!
