I hope the time was remarkable - because if it wasn't - this is one seriously over-hyped performance.

I dont know what race you were watching, but Frankel just defeated one of the best horses in the world as if the horse were standing still. Did it impressively and with ease. I dont know how beating the formerly best horse in the world an overhyped performance. What the hell were you looking for, for Frankel to sprout wings in deep stretch and fly?

A 4-horse race - where the winner is trotting comfortably on a 3-length lead after a quarter mile.

That horse wasn't standing still - he was going sideways.

The winner was easily odds-on in the betting. And people are calling him everything from the best 3yo ever to the best horse in their lifetime.

Obviously he ran a great race. He had the race served up to him on a platter and he hit it out of the park. 2nd place looked like he had some issues.

maybe the best 3yr old in Europe, you cant compare the 3y old here and over there until they compete on the same surface, and same race

That fraction was probably down-hill.

It will be cool to see the charts for that day later when I get more time to study them.

Sounds like the ugly girls of Erie, PA will have to wait to find paradise.

Last half mile 44.78?

The runnerup went what then? 45.5ish, while bearing out badly?
