Didn't Gift Box when he broke his maiden? (Granted that was a maiden race in the slop so you can't take a ton from that.)

20 years ago the par seemed to be a 100 - now its 90

Really hope 'Dorf reconsiders a Derby run with that filly.

This is not isolated to just three year old races this year.

Horses on the Beyere figures are much slower than they had been. Performance enhancing drugs are not performance enhancing in terms of Beyere figures I suppose.

Scale has slipped due to several factors including that the tentpole 5000 claimer baseline has moved. Due to slots purses, better horses are running at that level which pulls down the top end.
