According to the figure makers they are as good or better than the last Triple Crown winner. They are better than the Florida Derby winner and the two year old champ. Bet them with authority because the race figure cannot possibly be in error.

What has he run, three times? You think you know what he is already?
I also know that in races that are fast all the way around, horses that don't win tend to run their best figures. They are asked to give more than they are in most races.
I used to do a lot of running. I would always run my best times when in against superior runners I couldn't beat. I could never match those times in training or in races where the competition wasn't as good and couldn't set a strong pace.
I very much think that is something that happens in horse races also.
