Borrego wasn't that much and certainly not a raw talent.

His big race was an optical illusion aided by a very strong pace. The final half mile was like almost 52 seconds.

That was another melt down race - they went 22 and change and 45 and change at 10fs and he basically outfinished Perfect Drift and beat PD by like a half.

Borrego was like an older horse version of an Ice Box or Giacomo.

Here's a race for you to handicap PG'85. Assume they're all healthy and run to form. Give me your trifecta.

Distance: 9 furlongs
Track: Saratoga
Surface: Dirt
Race Name: The Only Way Zenyatta is Beating Rachel in NY on Dirt Stakes

Thats a sick race you put together, I would toss Bernardini out with Prado up.
So much speed, Z and maybe Victory Gallop? I dont know, what do you think? Is the track playing fair?
Narrow it down to a more reasonable BCC like 14. THen Ill give you the cold triple.

The fastest closer and horse for course in the race. Left Bank and/or Formal Gold fill out the tri.

Caller One sets a fast pace and fades to last.
Zenyatta takes advantage of the fast early pace to pass Rachel and Azeri at the wire to nicely secure 23rd place.

You wouldn't have had this ticket based on Skip Away's last race, he ran like crap.
