cocoa2 · Should read they judge speed over a track with only a slight nod to final time. If you classify that as performance, they do judge performance · 59 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · The times for the turf races at GP were very fast yesterday with 1:34 mile fractions in many of the races. Probably explains the low BSF. · 59 days ago ·

Floridaf · Yea, I can see how a fast race over a fast course would be less impressive than the same race over a tiring course, but I still think 103 for a record setting performance is too low. I understand how the Beyer system works, but that doesn't mean I like it. · 58 days ago ·

rafirox · That's what makes Secretariat's 2:24 and change Belmont time so impressive. 23:3, 46:3, 1:09:4..... Very fast and kept steamrolling to finish in 2:24 and change, a record that won't be broken for a long time. Second, I wouldn't make much of these records. The turf course at Santa Anita has been producing incredibly fast times. That is why the "records" were a week apart. Twilight Eclipse was the more impressive of the two, as he drew away without much effort, IMO. · 58 days ago ·

travel_vic · I am a Secretariat fan: I visited him twice in Kentucky BUT, in 1973 no less than 15 track records were set at Belmont, so the course was actually juiced and his brillance has that working for him as well. · 58 days ago ·

ruffian75 · Good call, buckpasser. I remember when he broke it the first time. He was the No. 1 rider for Pletcher, and was replaced by Garrett Gomez, when he had his accident. Seems Garrett's success hastily sped up his recovery process. Wonder who'll be the replacement this time? · 337 days ago ·
