Just from watching both races, the difference in performance seems accurately reflected in the figures. I thought Dominus' race was pretty ordinary for a winning performance and in line with what we've seen from the division all year but Flat Out completely dominated.

Is Flat Out that 3yo from a couple of years ago that was coming up at Oaklawn?

If so, I had wondered what became of that horse. He was a horse I thought had a decent chance to win the Derby that year. Considering that crop and all the injuries in it, that is.

Yeah, I just saw his PPs. Ran evenly in the Arkansas Derby (off a late running 4th to Old Fashioned in the Southwest) before disappearing for a year and a half. Crushed a Fair Grounds allowance comeback in December, then disappeared for another 5 months, returning with a second in the Lone Star Handicap. He was beaten less than 3 lengths in the Stephen Foster.

Glad to see Flat Out finally win a major stakes race. I've been following him since his maiden win at Fair Grounds over Country Day. It looked like he might be a player in the Fair Grounds/Oaklawn handicap division this year after his win off a nearly 19 month break, but then he went back on the shelf. DRF reports that he cracked a shoulder after the Arky Derby, and has been dealing with quarter cracks. Hope his connections can keep him together the rest of the year.

Yep. I thought his race in the Arkansas Derby was better than it appeared to be to most people. I never did read or find out what happened to him all this time. He just disappeared without me ever having seen a write up on him.

Flat Out, his performance, was better than it appeared to be either on paper, or going by what people said about it, at the time.

Is that better said?
