Kona Gold also went backwards on figures in that race despite setting a track record.
But you loved the suck up efforts of the 8 year old Bet on Sunshine and the likewise dream setup Honest Lady.
Shrewd.

I said nothing of Bet on Sunshine but it takes some stretch of the imagination to draw Caller Ones 4 year old speed figures into a discussion of Honest Ladys trip. Especially considering Kona Golds relatively easy one in comparison. Your interpretation of race includes Beyer numbers in races after the fact which have really nothing to do with this trips in this race. I have watched thousands of races at CD going 6 furlongs and by far the most frequent type of winner is the horse who got Kona Golds trip in that race. The type of trip that Honest Lady got virtually never wins or even gets close except in occasions where the race totally falls apart which most certainly wasnt the case here.
