The track seemed to be changing speeds every race.

Curlin didn't get his trip---no way he ran a 119....and no way C. P. West ran a 110 for finishing 4th.
Fair point, and if you make your own figures you know that sometimes there's days where the numbers are just no good and must be discounted/discarded.

CP West, without a doubt, ran a career best. Could he jump up 15-20 points? I'm not so sure, which is what makes me doubt the 118 I came up with yesterday. I have no doubt that either of the top two are capable of a huge number, it's the also-rans that throw the fly in the ointment.
