The one problem with track records is that aside from tracks changing speed day to day or even during the day, the surfaces have been changing since the glory days of the 70s. The emphasis on safety...

I'd settle for a legitimately solid pace battle with Life Is Good, put him away, easily repulse Epicenter, Taiba and anyone else trying to rally, and draw off by 5 or more lengths on a track that's...

I agree.

Personally, I've never seen the point of debating who was the greatest horse because of those definitional problems. You see the same thing in every sport. You even see it now in...

I think the quality at the top can vary for a variety of reasons year to year and over time, but I think the quality in MSW and limited ALW winners doesn't vary as much.

So using the logic in my...

That gets tricky for the current player looking back in time, but it's less tricky if you are following along closely now.

If a crop is really good, when the average ALW horse tries to move...

I am firmly in the camp that thinks you have to compare horses from different eras based on their accomplishments, the accomplishments of the horses they were beating, how consistently great they...

For the same reason I watch "Casablanca" every time it's on TV. I love it. ;)

To me, understanding Life Is Good's performance is a pretty critical part of the odds line for the Classic. Earlier...

You know my story by now.

The fractions and times of races obviously matter, especially when there's not a lot of information about the horses like maiden graduates and early ALW horses, but...

I can't see Pletcher taking back and riding for place money in that race. When Life Is Good was at his sharpest he outran Jackie's Warrior. This is a ridiculously fast horse that's great out of the...

Pretty big difference between the Beyer and TimformUS figure for Life Is Good.

97 vs. 128 (126 adjusted for pace).

I'd say some people (myself among them) would say the 3yos are likely to get better over time (especially Taiba & Epicenter) and close the gap a bit. It's more likely we've seen the best of the older...

Beyer had the track speed staying the same throughout most of the card. He had it slowing down 3 points after the 2 turf races. But it should be noted that the Woodward was the only 2 turn race of...

IMO, the only way he's not going to the Classic is if they were expecting a much sharper performance yesterday and he's not working well over the next few weeks. Then they won't run anywhere.

At what?

In questioning prior to the race when asked what he wanted out of the race Pletcher said “Irad knows what the main objective is”. He was saying exactly what he should be saying. The idea...

I thought the Pat O’Brien looked like a very solid race. Today’s results supported that. Speaker’s Corner didn’t exactly get the best trip today, but he didn’t have much in the tank late either. I...

I didn’t hate LIG’s race. IMO it’s fairly likely that if he was asked for more early the winning margin would have been larger and final time faster. But IMO, the last thing you want to do with Life...

That’s the kind of race we could see in the Classic. I can’t see Life Is Good doing anything but going out fast and even if Flightline sits early, he tends to pull. IMO, they are likely to hook up a...

Again, the racing secretary would know best how the races would fill, if something in the conditions could be tweaked, or if a few races could be eliminated. I'm just tossing things out there.

The racing secretary would know better, but I think the ability to run in those non graded stakes without conditions gives the connections of 2nd tier horses another way to avoid Graded Stakes. If...

The Lukas Classic looks like the better race.

I'm looking forward to watching him run even if the race is unbettable. I hope he's very impressive. He's the key to making the Classic a bettable...
