How do you quantify trouble in a race to exact lengths? His 'turn of foot' was achieved in a race where they were crawling home. The last 3/8ths in 38 seconds, last 1/8th in 12.3. The very next race a 100-1 shot ran his last 3/8ths in 36.4 and his last 1/8th in 12.2 going the same distance. In essence the other horses were stopping so badly he looked like he was closing fast, which he wasn't. He is a very good horse who overcame troble to swamp a bunch of listed type horse. No more, no less. |
