104 for The Factor. Not nearly as authoritative as in the Malibu.

I noticed you said on FB it was not that impressive. I really dont get that. This horse runs hard every step of every race. It almost feels like he has been so good in the past that when he runs a 104 it feels disapointing?

They went pedestrian early and then he was all out to hold off a horse back from a long layoff. It was a ragged effort. Not nearly as sharp as his Malibu.

If it wasn't for The Factor, Sway Away would now have two grade two wins at 7f off of long layoffs.

Ran well. A comeback that looked a lot like the one Toby's Corner turned in last week..

Question for those doing pace figures --

What were your differences between the Mailibu's and The San Carlos?

Sway Away is a closing sprinter, that was made obvious very early on in the horses career.
