He actually ran closer to a 121.
I don't remember them dropping that Beyer. If they did, they dropped it very quickly.

As wide as St Liam took Ghostzapper around the turn, and as much as they leaned on each other down the stretch, I thought the 114 was as good as any of the 120's.

I lost a prop bet that day that Ghostzapper would win by a certain amount of daylight, but I came out of the race with huge respect for both horses.
