Thorograph Belmont Numbers

The wide trips Rags and Hard Spun got accounts for their "inflated" numbers.

I would argue that speed figures earned in any 12 furlong (or further) dirt race are meaningless.

Good argument, not enough races run at that distance to get a legitmate number IMO

Not only that, but the numbers only become truly important the next time these horses go a mile and a half
which of course, is never.

You never know if they'll become washed up and run in the Wagon Limit Stakes at 1.5 miles in a few years
