Great to see races at Tampa and Sunland tied at the top of that.

It's official. This is a year where beyers are meaningless leading up to the Derby. These horses are not slow.

It's official? A new low...

Every speed figure maker in the game is wrong..

Beyer, Brown, Ragozin... decades apiece, each evaluating the speed horses run as their lives' work. All incorrect...

But you're correct. You know better. Truly amazing. And sad.

Ky- they're slow. Trust me on this one. These are the most pathetic group of times I can ever remember in the preps.


The more I see, the more I like Big Brown.

Big Brown is not slow.

The times may be slow, but the way the races set up make the final times slow.

You have horses like Visionaire going up to NY, not switching leads in the stretch, and running a higher Beyer than a horse like Pyro that beat Visionaire in his previous start. Sierra Sunset-99. Georgie Boy-92, Pyro-95, Colonel John-86, El Gato Malo-85. These horses can all run Sierra Sunset into the ground.

Colonel John-last furlong...11.8 seconds
El Gato Malo-last furlong...11.2 seconds.

I don't know how much faster a horse is supposed to run than that. Again, I don't think these horses are slow. I won't change these statements. Well, not until they prove me otherwise.
