His San Vicente was very good.
7F against Nyquist(considered to be the elite 3yo at that time)
Exaggerator put up a performance that was huge for this class with personal raw fractions of 22.59 44.67 1:08.65 1:20.94.
Having run wider than the winner, his Trakus MPH was 39.4 vs. Nyquist's 39.3.
The only separation was Nyquist's superior early speed and inside post, meaning that Nyquist could take the initiative.
At least on that day he was right with the head of the class on a fast surface.
