unless of course you wanted to compare him to general assembly, than it would be playing slower.....

Well, but his other races haven't been that slow, right... So maybe it just indicates his versatility? He can win easy any number of ways. Sorry if I'm completely off about how to interpret the time.

His final time was 2:01.60. Saratoga normally plays slower than some of the other tracks. Flower Alley's final time last year in this same race was 2:02.76. Yes, Benardini is very fast. His Preakness time was extremely fast. The scary thing though is that I think that the horse runs his best race if he is stalking and has something to run at.

I said "plays slower than some of the other tracks." Read my posts more carefully before you make a smart a s s comment or either quit trying to distort what I say. I also compared Flower Alley's time last year, which was much slower, to Bernardini's time also noting that the track was probably playing faster this year.

no, you see i live for smart ass comments. it's the sugar in my coffee.

besides, comparing times from different tracks is a wasted effort.

and maybe next time you're talking about different tracks, you might want to compare a horse from a different track, not the same track from a previous year....it would help those of us who only look for ways to be sarcastic, rather than wanting to make a valid reply....since you seem interested in setting forth rules of how to post, i thought i would do the same!
Okay, you said nevermind...so I take it you realized just what you were saying.
