Maclean's Music (110 preliminary Beyer)

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Formal Gold's record for highest debut figure of all-time is probably still safe ... but there's a good chance Maclean's Music will recieve a debut figure of 110+

Race #1: Winner Via Verde ran a 90 last out - winning par for this class level is an 86. Via Verde winning time was 25 points slower than Maclean's Music

Race #2: Winner Lost Prophet ran a 77 last out - winning par for the class level is a 73. Lost Prophet's winning time was 39 points slower than Maclean's Music

Race #4: Route

Race #5: Turf

Race #6: Havens Lake ran a 71 last out - winning par for the class level is a 72. Havens Lake's winning time was 41 points slower than Maclean's Music

Race #7: Turf

Race #8: Maclean's Music's race. Debuters 1-2-3 ... 4th place finisher beaten 11.5 lengths was a Mandella 2nd time starter who ran an 87 in his debut.

Thanks for proving my point in the other thread.

For some reason - I thought Formal Gold ran a 114 instead of a 112 in his debut. He ran a 112.



Formal Gold's 15-year-old record is in danger. That figure for Maclean's Music could justifiably be as high as a 113.

Formal Gold was pretty darn good at the end of his career - slaughtering the great Skip Away in back-to-back races with insane figures. Once he got hurt - Skip Away was invincible for over a year. Obviously - don't expect Maclean's Music to stretch out like that.

Only horse to ever run three straight BSFs over 124?

Since they've been published in '91 anyway.

The amazing thing about his cut is he went into the '96 BCC as part of a 21-1 entry.
With PP's like that today, he would be 3/5.

True. And when is the last time the Pa Derby produced a LOSING Beyer of 113.

Cigar was a 3/5 favorite that year.

Isolate his record at 10f.

What was with all the jockey changes on Formal Gold?

I suppose some of it had to do with all the jock changes on Skip Away.
