Forget the crappy field, he beat the hell out of the clock all the way around the track.

That may be the best route Beyer we've seen in awhile.

The race looks freaky fast. I have a huge issue with the whole day. The quarter claimers went the fastest 1 turn mile the filly allowance race won by the ok Mott and the slow Phipps second went faster then the Frankie allowance race where he looked solid beating a solid field in 38 and high change.. I don't pretend to understand Speed figures on anything other then a 101 level but QR mile is 134 and change?

I disagree about Frankie's race. He beat Bank the Eight by a length. Bt8 is a decent horse but he's far from a star. Purely guessing, but I say WF comes back with a low-80s Beyer and QR's is between 115-120.

there is no run up for the mile races. i dont think there was anyone solid in the wildcat frankie race, but after that 2nd quarter, it makes sense they came home so slow late.

Bank the Eight's previous three Beyers: 74, 73, 74. How many points do you think he jumped up?

Soldier Field was the only other horse in the race with an 80 Beyer, and he didn't run a step. Wildcat Frankie is what he looked like on paper, a very nice sprinter with distance limitations.

It should be 52 points higher than the 1st race of the day. You can't really compare one turn with two turn races at GP because of the wacky runup/no runup issue...

I was thinking 136 but that might be a tad high.

You really think Frankie looked OK winning today?
While tiring on the wrong lead.
