You saw the 22 and knew it was game over? Did you think it was game over when you saw the 22 in the Kentucky Derby?

I believe Timeform had the first half mile virtually identical in both the preakness and the derby.

I'm.mobile so I'm not gonna bring up the derby replay but if I recall there wasn't a "duel" for 3/4 of mile in the derby? I could be totally wrong though. I think pointman is 100x smarter then me when it comes to handicapping but I think raw times don't mean as much as how they got to that number..if the numbers were the same at cd and pim personally I think the pim number was much more taxing..so maybe I'm contradicting myself by saying .22 game over and its more like .22 and dueling leaders game over.

I throw a big party for the derby, get all hammered and don't get to really dissect the race so maybe I'm blowing smoke here lol
