Speaking of Fly Down and Formulator .... the fractional breakdown charts they have are a pretty cool tool and I look at them a lot before watching replays.
One of the best examples all year was with Fly Down in the LA Derby .... I noticed nothing remotely special about his performance that day until I looked at the chart.  You see Fly Down running the 4th quarter mile in a very slow 26.03 .. and yet he unleashed a rapid final furlong of 11.58 that was clearly the fields fastest. Even though he ran only an 83 Beyer and was 9th without much trouble - it kind of tipped you off that the horse really wasn't giving any effort on the far turn while he was inside of horses. He won his next start in the Peter Pan by 6 lengths at 7/2 odds and his figure improved 14 points.
