![]() I just listened to the Serling fragment of the show.
I was in agreement with most of what he/you had to say, but the thing that I find frustrating and inconsistent with Beyer's numbers is the sometimes adherence to strictly using other races on the card as a barometer, and a sometimes divergence from this when a split variant is used because a race result doesn't meet some earlier preconceived idea of what the race result should be. Wow, that was a Freddy run on sentence if I've ever seen one. Anyways, I think this is a pretty cut and dried instance of the second race at that distance being vastly superior to the first, and I don't see why they didn't split it. How much time elapsed between the two races? Maybe sometimes I don't account for the numbers representing what the winner actually ran, instead of what he could have run had he been asked for more earlier. |

I'm surprised your computer didn't throw up on you when you made this post. Or maybe it did.

![]() pretty sure the last 3 Triple Crown winners in the 70's had perfect trips too. I already knew I missed the boat after watching that 6/1/15 5 furlong work. If that Belmont win didn't convince you about that hoss, you are just plain anti west coast. Probably still hatin on Affirmed and Sunday Silence

Yeah, secretariat didn't get any perfect trips. Slews was slightly better, and alydar at your jugular for 1.5 miles has to be less than ideal. |

![]() Yes, on my iPhone. But I know you get the point, others apparently don't.

Instead of comparing AP to Secretariat I am trying to envision a race between AP and Race Day Arkansas Derby day. It was one of the few race cards throughout the prep season that older horses ran the exact distance that the 3yo's ran. |

![]() I actually listened to both Andy's segments again while I think Andy Bias is nuts, I don't necessarily agree with Andy S. saying that A.P. would need to run as a 4yr to show he is a great horse. Secretariat didn't run as 4yr and most think he was a great horse.

![]() Unfortunately, they don't. There is an inverse correlation between people that spout these kinds of idiotic opinions on the internet and their betting handle.
