What you should have taken away is that today we are not breeding distance horses and all horses can get 1 1/4 some just get there slower than others. If they are going to be able to win with last quarters of 26.3 then breeding is not going to count.
Here are the fractions from Saturday.
TIME :23 1/5, :47 1/5, 1:11 1/5, 1:36 2/5, 2:03
Lets end talk of AP being the next super horse to rival Secretariat.
Check out Secretariat's Derby fractions:
:23 2/5, :47 2/5, 1:11 4/5, 1:36 1/5, 1:59 2/5
After a mile Secretariat was sitting 1/2 off the pace so he basically would have been just ahead of the Sat bunch before turning on the jets and romping by 20.
