Some guy that they quote...Steve Byk, whoever that is

...pointed out the matching half miles for Old Fashioned and Smarty Jones. Smarty got it done later in the Derby obviously. Doesn't mean O.F. will but is it better to compare him to a claiming mare or to a past Derby prepper/winner? I get that they ran on the same day but we gotta put this thing in context of a bigger plan.

What? So it's "better" to compare two times from five years apart than it is to compare times on the same day?
