Here were the last-out figures going into the Southwest:
Either Super Ninety Nine won the Southwest big without even showing up, or maybe I might have that allowance race a little fast...although the big alw number for Super 99 looked like a day that was fairly cut and dry from a figure making standpoint.
Code West, who was 2nd in that alw race, is running in the Risen Star this week, and he's fastest of anyone last out in that tough field.
It's a little disconcerting that Super 99 didn't come close to getting back to the number even though he won off...but I'm still leaning to the belief that the alw race was very fast and you have to give Code West a look in the Risen Star. |
Thanks for the analysis. I'm hoping the figure was not as fast because he was just cruising on the lead by himself with not much competition from the others in the SW. Keeping an eye on Code West at the FG this weekend myself. Calling for tons of rain, so not sure if were going to get a good reading on the race..We'll see soon enough..
