just asking a question; didn't know what Foggy's final time was.

on a side note, anybody think that Discreet Cat will end up in the Sprint?

They would retire him before running in the sprint.

With Cougar Cat finishing within two lengths today, I have to think the figure is coming down a bit from the 120 level.

I have no idea how fast the track was playing but could cougar cats effort be a case of being pulled along a bit and running a better figure then he has in the past. I remember a few years ago when the track record was set by kellys landing it was playing so fast that day, he got a 112, hard to believe it will be any lower then that.

This isn't harness racing.

really, I totally believe horses can be pulled along a bit by better horses, does not happen all the time. I guess its hard for me to beleive that horse ran much lower then normal.

Extremely impressive. Been following this guy for a long time and I couldn't be happier.

Two predictions: (1) the Beyer will be a 113, and (2) he will be the BC Sprint favorite (assuming he gets there healthy.)

I just watched the replay in super slow-mo and I don't see any trailers attatched to Fabulous Strike so I don't think he pulled Cougar Cat along. I'll watch again though to be sure.
