I missed that he had him for the initial Hawthorne race. Even then, the pace was a crawl and he overcame it. It was really not possible to run fast with that setup.

As for Cerin, he isn't even close to Asmussen.

It is widely known that horses tend to run bigger numbers on dirt when running well then other surfaces. The horse ran around 102 on synthetics, so is it really that far fetched to think he could run around 110 on dirt?

I'm not saying he did or didn't. I haven't looked at the card. I'm just saying you have to look at these things in depth and not base opinions on general impressions.
