3yo Negative Tops-- -1 or more before July --Update

Mark,

A Beyer pair up of 108 for RA, adjusted for weight advantage and ground loss, puts her equal a TG neg -2 3/4 which is where Beyer had her in the Oaks.

JB is it possible that Beyer had track speed slowing for the Preakness? Did you?

JB hinted,preliminarily, that he was correct that RA went back app 4 points putting her in the neg -1/2 to 0 range. Quite a difference, but we\'ll wait to see the final TG fig and the Rags.

From a racing perspective, RA\'s toughest race by a pole, the gut wrenching type,unlike her previous whistle jobs.

Mike , Pretty interesting stuff - Thanks .   No 20 + leanth winner on Saturday but all things being equal imo - that was another huge effort and maybe clear by at least daylight with a better trip . Too bad she hadn\'t been pointed to the Derby  . . .

Best Racing Luck Always , Mark
