I'm only talking about the winner. The horse was in last behind a pace very similar to that set by Fabulous Strike in the Aristides. Despite that, he was able to run down the pace setters and get up late in a time only .02 off that of FS.

The figure I gave him, 110, compares very favorably to the 113 I gave FS when you consider the trips each had.

Benny the Bull is a really nice horse.

His number came back 111 with a 1 rag for his efforts against the Maggi Moss horse.

What is the name of this horse for comparison?

Benny the Bull I believe. He has recently changed hands and appears to have really improved.

I'm surprised that number came back as a 111 for Benny. The track seemed like the Bonneville Salt Flats that day. The other 6f race on the card went in 1:08.68 The 6.5f race went in 1:16.51 and the two 7f races went in 1:21.54 and 1:22.73

I feel that anytime u can have two sub 1:09's and a sub 1:22 on a card and it's not the Summit of Speed day at Calder, the track is playing crazy fast and the numbers mean a little less to me.

No doubt about it the track was fast that day, but that was an exceptional run. Running against what seemed to be a slower opening quarter

Benny the Bull, the horse that we touched on about a month ago came back in very impressive fashion in Iowa. He was in the Iowa Sprint stake and inhaled the field the last 16th. 110 for his effort, and the time was 108 and some change. I think he is a horse for us all to keep an eye on down the road. Hes now paired up his breakout performance at CHD, beating the Ronny Warner horse that ran second to fabulous strike pretty easily
