The field went the last 3 furlongs in 39.25 seconds. Just a Touch went the last 3 furlongs in in 39.31 seconds. While Sierra Leone went the last 3 furlongs in 38.01. Leone only traveled 8 more feet than Just a Touch. All of this is from Equibase GPS charts. So essentially Leone only picked up 6 lengths on the field. Another thing I like to look at with 3 year olds to get an idea of their ability is to look at how they fare against the variant. Fast 3 year old usually get clost to the variant for that day or beat it. Leone beat the variant marginally in the Bluegrass and his maiden race days. The Risen Star he was he was more than a second slower than the variant and Remsen he was about 1/2 second slower. He's not really grade 1 quality. I bet Just a Touch in the Bluegrass. After watching that race I'm off him.
