I agree and posted something last week about Trakus. Have you ever gone to the Trakus website at Keeneland's site. The information is unreal and would take a great while to digest but would be well worth it

Here's the link and lots of info to look at.

ran more in terms of distance than any other horse in the field (from 1 to 39 ft. more); including the 8, which ran 19 ft. less and drafted until the turn. While she was squeezed late by Kent D, costing her the race, she also came out significantly a few strides after the break, severely impeding the 9.

Race 6

Bullara ran 8 ft more than Sir Lowery and 17 ft more than Master Mizzen. The distance challenged MM is that able to look real good handling 8.5F; I would too, if I'd drafted inside just about the entire race.


Race 9

Dancing Forever ran 25 ft less than Drilling for Oil and a whopping 98 ft less than Brass Hat.


Personally, the more info I get the more I realize that LUCK plays a much larger role in these results than I'd feel comfortable admitting.
