yup - should have elaborated... just trying to visualize how quick a middle move this is... Relaunch set the first quarter, SB got the 3/4th's just a head back of 1.08 and change... Just seems an insanely fast middle move (making up 9 lengths) to close into that number with a half still to come ...

Did Spectacular Bid dance in the paddock? If not, I find it hard to really take him seriously, despite his unbelievable career.

Pretty sure he did. I'm thinking it was Guns and Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"

No match for this though..

Only 3 rivals in that race ... but three quality ones anyway.

* Flying Paster's form going into the Kentucky Derby off of back to back blowout Grade 1 wins.




* Valdez was 3rd beaten 12+ lengths. He was a Grade 1 winner with five Graded Stakes wins on dirt.




* Relaunch was 4th after setting the sharp pace. He was 2nd to John Henry going 12fs on Turf a month later. Relaunch sired a Breeders Cup Classic winner - A Breeders Cup Distaff winner - and was also the dam sire of BC Classic winner Ghostzapper and grandsire of BC Classic winner Tiznow.
