I feel this way too. If memory serves, they told Mehrtens, on Assault, that "you have the fastest animal for 3/8 of a mile, but you've got to time your run." Something like that. Assult was considered a one run closer from what I read, he sure had a burst.

Curlin might be faster for a short distance. I think he put more ground between himself and Delightful Kiss in the stretch than did SS/AGS in the TB derby. Valid comparison?
