DS,
Obviously will have you expound on this today on ATR as part of the Dunkirk/3y.o. conversation, but is it possible they are STILL having timer and/or run-up distance issues at Gulfstream??

Side note... Kelly Leak, who was third in the This Ones for Phil SunMill race, came back to win a grass mile impressively yesterday at SA.. 1:35.0.

Winning a turf race, when we are discussing a dirt race, reinforces what?

Byk is just trying to support overall theory that a lot of good horses ran that day(now why would a lot of good horses be racing at GP in the winter???) and that they are good on either coast and on both grass and dirt... Thanks DrugS you are really proving yourself to be quite the long term thinker.. And to think you could be doing this for a living soon.. Instead of Trips and Traps... We can call your show on DT as Dribs and Drabs... Sponsored by?

I figure the points of the post ( other than the usual DrugS scream " Look at me.....I'm smart! " ) are mainly that the two horses questioned by Beyer could only have run " better " than some thought and certainly not worse......and that, as usual, the times at Gulfstream are perplexing for whatever reasons. Is it the timer? Probably not, as those problems are usually confined to the turf, but let's not forget last year's FOY debacle. Is it the track super? Always possible I suppose. Is it runup related? Not sure how that should dramatically affect final time but I suppose if they are perversely changing those during the day it is entirely possible.
Whatever the case, it was clear to anyone paying attention that the horses to take out of Dunkirk's race were the pacesetters. I just hope DrugS bet Zegfield. I know I did.
