Thanks, Steve. I was interested because I thought Jack Christopher’s Beyer came back a little high, since it was the slowest Champagne(when run at a mile) since 1989. The mile time for the fifth on Saturday was virtually the same as JC’s final time 3 races later, so the number makes sense.

I thought Jack Christopher’s Beyer of 93 was a little high for a race that was the slowest Champagne since 1989. So I wanted to compare it to the dirt routes that were run earlier on the card. The 4th race a 40 n2l claimer was not comparable, so I went to the 5th race, an 80 optional claimer @ 8 1/2 furlongs that the mile split was 1:37:2, one tick slower than JC’s mile. When that race came back with a 91 Beyer, I could see how JC was awarded a 93. However, I still feel the time of the Champagne was very mediocre, particularly the final 1/4 in 26:1. We shall see.

You understand final fractions, especially in dirt races, are related to how quickly the early fractions were run....right?

Yes, I am aware of that, but I don’t think an opening 1/4 of 23:4 should impact the final quarter that negatively. Like I said, we shall see.
