So, like, how does Rapport get a faster BSF than Uncle Mo after running like 2 5ths slower just a short time later on the card.

Very impressive and along with Kantharos and Wine Police, I have some excitement in the 2yo division.

Im curious about this myself. Rapport is VERY FAST, but there is no evidence the track slowed down... It seems like its just made up, it really does.

They have the track slowing down a bit for the stakes races.

Basically, it was a speed biased track - and by the end of the card the paces were starting to get out of hand. The King's Bishop pace was vicious and the Travers pace was insanely fast as well.

I'm in the minority who liked the winners race in the Travers more than Fly Down's race.
