Title: Questionnable Number
Post by: jbelfior on June 09, 2011, 05:54:35 PM
My guess is that anyone who has the Belmont sheets and Jerry\'s analysis would agree on who is too slow to be a factor on Saturday.

That includes Prime Cut unless you\'re not sold on his # at the FG on Louisiana Derby day.  He was one fifth of a second off of the track record beating Bind (he  of 105 Beyer figure fame in his debut) who was second by 12 over a next out winner by 11.  

The difference in the # assigned to PC that day versus the MMM # is  puzzling.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

Didn\'t do anything fancy with the number, only a 1 point difference in variant. MMM was wider and carried more weight, roughly 2 points accounted for by those things. Prime Cut\'s # seems to have held up pretty well, given he repeated it the next two times.
