This performance was indeed very good, great even, but don't go getting too carried away by the raw time.
And didn't any of you "he was under a hand ride" guys learn anything from Bernadini? He was asked and had a perfect setup.
Very good effort, but if you really wanna believe the time was so great, then I guess you have to consider Badge a super horse as well for going a mile in 1:33 flat.
Didn't anyone see the undercard and realize just how fast this track was playing?
The statebred allowance horse making his 2nd lifetime start went in 1:35:2 in the last race.
Guys this track was playing at LEAST two seconds fast in one turn races. More like 2 seconds and change.

shame they're really putting badge away this time. his last two efforts have been pretty damn good!!
