The Whitney was obscene. It is funny how people seem all the more ready to crown Bernardini as great and hated on Saint Liam when Bernie hasn't run a race like SL.

I know on the equibase numbers that the Woodward was right up there with Ghostzapper's best figure wise. The Beyer came in low, I'd guess in part because at the time no one believed Saint Liam was capable of running a 120 figure so just assumed GZ ran a poor race (by his standards).
