Do you really have kids? No sarcasm here, I just had no idea you were old enough to have a six year old.

The math ain't pretty

As Jerry has posted the number on his board I feel free saying.

A neg 7.5 in a route race. Astounding number.

Yeah, that makes him only about 29 lengths faster than Alysheba on TG.

I look forward to the day when all TG numbers are negative.
But they still have the best trainer and sire stats anywhere.

Yeah .. they aren't a good tool for comparing horses from different generations - unless you really believe that Recapturetheglory would trounce Easy Goer and Sunday Silence with disdainful ease.

I have no real problems in general with how they make their final time figs on a day-to-day basis - and they do have great stats.

For me its not difficult to believe that horses run faster than they used to. People do, why not horses....But I'm not using them to compare generations.

How does Jerry Brown explain this?
i know he believes horses are getting faster but, come on.

I'll give him credit - his theories and explanations are no worse than those who believe the opposite has happened ('sup BTW and Freddy Mo) all because the Maktoums have bought up a ton of fancy stock over decades.

I just wish TG would have been around since the early 1920's ... with the way that scale of theirs is going ... I'm pretty sure Man O' War's figs would have made him a complete throwout had he been entered against a soft field of modern day Oregon bred maiden claimers at Portland Meadows.
