Ask the Experts / Thorograph Seminar
May 06, 2018, 02:00:10 PM
I posted this originally on Youtube, since I\'m not a member here (until today). This is referring to the Audio Seminar of the Derby by Thorograph. It was requested by the moderator of the Youtube channel to post this comment here, so below is what I wrote there:

\"It\'s interesting to read the opening statement: \"Deepest and most competitive field since we started doing seminars\". Because they way the race was run, you have to think the quality of these horses is far below what\'s regarded as Derby Standard. Both Justify and Good Magic were essentially on top of a scorching pace through the first half mile. After that, the pace was slowing down, and towards the end was slowing down to almost a crawl. That both Justify and Good Magic could expend that much speed early and still have the race essentially between them at the end, despite almost walking home, says a lot about the lack of enterprise among any of the others. Off the early fractions set yesterday, you would have thought any of the early laggards with the alleged quality you assert they had would have been able to swallow up these leaders who were clearly slowing down. But no. Justify could run each quarter slower than the preceding one and still not be troubled by anybody else in the race, winning clear. That represents \"The deepest and most competitive fields since we started doing seminars\"? Really??? OK.\"
