Yeah, it was pretty obvious. Any time the first four finishers in a race all run career tops, it's probably a good idea to question the figure.

To top it off I got fooled by figures for the also rans that showed up in the Lone Star Derby where they totally tanked. For the Preakness and from now on I'm dropping five lengths off that figure for any horse from that race before I start my handicapping.

Me too. I'm also dropping seven points or so off of the Lexington figure.
