End of story.

That's it, then. I thought going into the race that Fly Down was the better horse - I guess that's the truth. However, 2:31 and change? Of course, he'll never have to run the distance again.

I think the only certainty is that Fly Down is about a 1/2 length better than First Dude.

No, I still think Fly Down is better than Ice Box......not Drosselmeyer at this time maybe, but I think he's a very talented horse.
