Now is TFM's time to tell us why he hates chart callers and why we need trackus
By the way her last 1/8th is ridiculously fast. I mean Borel was long done riding her. I know we typically suggest that horses powered down aren't really but surely he wasn't asking her for her very best?

12.7? I dont think that is crazy fast, the pace was so its expected....certainly its funny she doubled her lead which means the others went about 15 for the last eighth.

The track was just playing fast wasn't it? I don't think you should look at the times too deeply

I dont believe that stuff, she was all out in the preakness and went no faster, its like Zenyatta being hand ridden every race, she really cant go any faster.
