Pace and Speed Handicappers Egg On Their Face - Class Handicapping Always Wins
Before the KD, all I heard about was how weak the SA Derby was. Lowest speed figures - all the speed handicappers talked about how weak a race it was. Produced the Derby winner.
After the Kentucky Derby, all I heard about was how impressive Bodemeister was. The pace figures were incredible. Based on his pace figures, he couldn't lose this race. Bodemeister controls the pace in the Preakness - not pressed and I'll Have Another runs him down.
The fundamental problem with pace and speed handicapping is that speed and pace figures will always be man-made and fallible. Class does not lie.
