Weekend Beyers

I obviously disagree.

The strongest part of the pace was the sizzling 22.07 first quarter - of which Mythical Power was several length in front of Mine That Bird after - and was just as wide and actually under restraint going into the 1st turn.

He got shuffled into an education when MTB started moving past him down the backstretch - and Kelly Leak was following MTB's move.

To me, MP showed he had the most raw speed of any horse in that race - he got his education and a dirty face - and he finished up best of all in a collapsing race.

If you pretend that Kelly Leak wasn't in the race ... yeah ... Mine That Bird's race probably rates better than MP's .. but KL basically followed him - hooked widest - and put MTB away with ease on the turn. All 3 of them ran well .. but MTB was only 3rd best .. and perhaps arguably ran as well as MP..but that's a bit of a stretch.
