The Aqueduct variant was split for the two nine furlong races. All the sprints, before and after, were consistent. The raw times are 12 points apart, yet the figures are only 8 points apart. Personally, I think the older horses were "boosted" four points since the pace was ridiculously slow. However, the argument could be made the Wood is four points too low instead.

That's spectacular news for I Want Revenge fans, as another 105+ speed fig was unnecessary for him, would attract more interest from the casual Derby bettors who may only understand the simplicity of speed figures, thus bring down his value.
In horse racing, as in everything it seems, the public's interest and adoration is short lived. There are still a few (weak) preps that might produce a high Beyer or a touching, feel-good type of horse(y) story that might deflect money elsewhere With the quarter crack to Quality Road, IWR might be fine value if Quality Road is in the gate and sucking money. ( I agree with another poster on the QR quarter crack thread that betting horses having even minor injury bumps this close to the Derby results in a poor ROI)`

I was going to bring up Scat Daddy has a horse with minor injuries leading up to the Derby, but then I remembered that horse just stunk in general.
