P.S. Damn you guys with the page numbers, now I have to switch my settings to show oldest first so I can keep up!

What exactly is the statute of limitations on the Summit of Speed from 2003? And, by the way, didn't the horse that won the Vanderbilt, Private Horde I believe, compete against Shake You Down on that day? I guess his figure should have been.....faster? And, didn't Valid Video have a perfect rail trip, on a gold rail, just off blistering fractions when he got lucky to win the King's Bishop?

Funny what people choose to remember. I guess one wrong split variant makes the whole concept dangerous. Also funny to hear about this from anyone that uses the Thorographs....where they split the variant constantly ( not to say they are wrong ).
