The 106 Lawyer Ron makes no sense both in relation to his consistent performances elsewhere but also for the other competitors in that race.

Lawyer Ron is not " slow " in relation to the majority of the members of his, or really any, generation. But, he is slow in relation to the majority of horses considered genuine TC contendors.

He still ran a 0 on Thorograph, more than once and at Oaklawn, going into the Derby, his Thoro's were as good or better than many...

Just further confirming the lack of value of the Thorographs.
