I'd look closer at that race 5/23.. Mambo was sitting behind a pace of :49.88 and 1:15.61, so I'm not sure how fast the figure was going to come up.. As it is, he ran his last of nine furlongs that day in :11.80, which is impressive to me regardless of pace or final time. In his next race, he closed from further back into another slow pace to win.

I hate that he's the wise guy horse, but since that start on Derby Day, his races have been very good.
