My Final 2006 Top Thirty Rankings

[Que]

Below is my final top thirty ranking and associated pace/speed figures. However, please be advised that I don't place one iota of trust in my Keeland figures this year. Specifically, SINISTER MINISTER's figures in the Blue Grass remind me to much of Bellamy Road's figures last year, and I'm equally skeptical of BUSHFIRE's numbers in the Ashland. Best of luck on Saturday...
