Is I Want Revenge's Gotham , this year's Pyro-Risen Star ??

[Bobby Fischer]

Was IWR's Gotham really that slow??

Pyro's Risen Star =
24.52, 49.50, 1:14.62, 1:38.75, 1:44.68


IWR's Gotham
23.76, 48.45, 1:12.69, 1:36.46, 1:42.65

(for what it's worth) IWR received an 87 Bris E pace and a 101 E2 pace figure which could very well be meaningless, but my real question is how slow was the Gotham compared to what decent races were running on that day or time frame? (DrugS to thread?)


I have I Want Revenge for some impressive numbers for the Gotham. His final 5/16ths (29.93) were the best that I've seen a 3yo finish on dirt this year. Friesan Fire (30.05) was next - also following moderate to slow fractions. My big question is whether he appreciates the stretch to 10 furlongs. IMO his 1 1/16th was as good as anyones. ??


Steve Haskin has Revenge as his #1 Derby horse right now ...

He retains his top spot, as the only performer who ran big enough to displace him won in the slop, and a number of his main foes failed to fire.
