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.

Please explain what is "Class" when you are looking at improving 3 yr old horses..
I thought Class is aquired by winning multiple graded stakes against each other. I dont feel Bodemeister did bad any way..
Would you place Affirmed and Alydar is separate classes?
[ps: I am not a speed or class handicapper....actually I dont know what the hell I am doing ..
