Default Thoughts on Keeneland today

Gomez is on fire and Tracy Farmer is a planet.

Speed is dead.

Carry on.

Yes they can. They can speak stupid things.

"I'm still not convinced there's an anti-speed bias here". (Matt Caruthers quote).

"The 7 has pace" (Ken Rudolph quote).
No, Ken, he has EARLY SPEED. Pace refers to the tempo of races, not to an individual horse's running style. Pace and early speed are NOT synonyms.

Zito put him in training to lose some of that girth and
