I thought Student Council was just an allowance horse that can only win Gr1's on polytrack.

He won the Donald Schafer being run under the name Pimlico Special. That was no G1 race with the purse cut. And a 102 should be an allowance horse, not a G1 winner.

Amen. The figures show he's still an allowance horse. The thing is.......so is everyone else.

My friend owns a horse that runs in 16k str alw's at CD,$21k purse. It usually takes an 85-90 beyer to win with the likes of Stratostar; (99) this year, Self made man; (95) this year, and Chestermite. Yet, a 100 can win a G1. Seems Beyer pars have been made a thing of the past.

races like that can sometimes come up really tough and competitive, with horses that on their best day aren't far short of current graded stakes levels.

I wasn't sitting on it really, it just hit me looking at the BSF's and seeing him near the top. thats fair, I think he was under estimated a bit by some. another trainer change may have him moving forward again. he has a bit of fight in him although its not always evident. I thought running down Gotcha Gold in the slop was not a bad effort.
