What she did saturday was one of the most dominating performances I have seen at a BC yet.
The Goldi number is right on target based on what the runners had done previously. That said, it's futile to use turf Beyers because of the difficulty of accuracy. I would agree that was one of the most dominating performances I've ever seen- I love her. The number means really nothing. She ran the final 4F in about 46 3/5, around the turn, despite being 4 wide- that is stunning.
