I think the way Bluegrass Cat trounced him in the Haskell pretty clearly established it as a BS 109. The rest of that field was Doc Cheney, Da Stoops (way past his best distance), Regent Spirit, Dontfearthereaper, and an already toasted Keyed Entry. Pathetic.

I'm not a big fan of that number either, though a desperate person could ultimately use the Super Derby to defend it, but in fairness it was an incredibly tricky day, and I think all figure makers struggled mightily with it.

Except, I guess, for Ragozin, who doesn't believe in split variants.
