So To Honor and Serves comeback was way faster then Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo. Here is a prefect example why BSF are only a tool and why Beyer created them to be ONLY as much. They all can go forward and isn't that what we all want? Plus we have a razor sharp Soldat and a few decent contenders out west, it's shaping up to be a good spring. Now the fun begins.

Moss Race Shape for the San Felipe: 98 (+26) 98 (+17) 94 (+7) 91
He's a nice horse and his consistency might prove a huge asset, but let's all get a grip about his performance. It was an illusion.

Mostly Premier Pegasus. . . he was far enough out of it early that I think it was still a very advantageous trip for him. I'm not saying he's not ok, but some of the excitement on here and other places got out of hand. Jaycito and the third horse obviously got a ton of help, but Jaycito does seem like the type who can suck up for a piece in the derby.

PP was miles the best of the top 3 finishers.
Comma to the Top was an awesome 4th IMO. He would have murdered the Tampa Derby field on the basis of that performance.

I agree on Comma to the Top - I was shocked he ran on a bit.

When tj asked yesterday 'who was 4th' and I went back to the screen and saw it was him, I was stunned. Having seen Runflatout and Albergatti straggle home, I had figured he was probably 8th ahead of them.

I've kind of liked CTTT a bit as well. I was shocked he was still there late too, but might that be more of an indication that Jaycito just isn't that good?

Ok - so Uncle Mo ran a 71 Moss for 6fs - that translates to running a 41 Beyer. Comma to the Top (I believe the San Felipe leader after 6fs) ran a 94 Moss after 6fs - which translates to a 104 Beyer. Bretheran (if memory serves) was the 6f leader in the Tampa Bay Derby. He ran a Moss of 82 - which means he ran a 71 Beyer for 6fs. In other words - had Uncle Mo run in the San Felipe - he would have trailed Comma to the Top by 25.5 lengths with just 2.5 furlongs to go. You can't say enough good things about Comma to the Tops performance - and enough bad things about the ride he got. Not many horses can run a 104 Beyer for 6f - after going 3-to-4 wide on the first turn. His late fade should be understandable to anyone. Just like with humans - horses run to the best of their ability when they are allowed to run at an efficent rate of speed from start to finish. An olympic quality miler won't post his best time by jogging 3 laps and sprinting the final one - nor will they post their best time by sprinting like Ussain Bolt from the start of the 1st lap. Premier Pegasus chased The Factor in the San Vincente through cooking fast fractions - and he faded late. He simply used his speed more efficently on the stretch-out. The pace might have been too fast for everyone else. A plodder like Jaycito should have been much further back than he was.

Comma to the Top would obliterate a lot of horses in that field at 9fs or futher. He's a horse that can be rated - and when rated - would use his speed a lot more efficently. Everything in that race - including the winner - was stopping late. Comma to the Top was only stopping at a more severe rate because he actually did some real running.
