What was the distance of race? Are you testers allowed to share this information?
9F
trainer change to Oscar Barrera?
Kind of fast for 9 furlongs. Like to know what the fractional times were? I suppose this would be possible for Seabiscuit, or Sunday Silence. I'm aware that times on a sloppy track are sometimes as fast as on a fast track.
That must have been some track varient.

May they all come home safely!!!
I had to chuckle when I saw your post. I haven't heard Oscar's name mentioned in quite a while, but I remember him well. Old Oscar had quite a reputation for mysteriously getting horses to win by ten lengths while stepping up two or three class levels in their first start off the claim. I wonder how the heck he ever got that accomplished.
Birdzilla, I too had to laugh when I saw Oscar's name. It brought back
a memory of a race I saw at Aqueduct one day. I bet on one of his off
the claim step ups. The horse in a six furlong race had a 10 length lead
on the turn, was passed by the other 7 horses in the race at the top of
the stretch,( I was ready to rip up my ticket ), all of a sudden at the
eighth pole the horse starts flying on the outside and wins the race!!!!
Everyone was laughing and yelling "the juice, the juice". It was great.
We don't know what he was giving his horses, but is was comical the
results he got! They couldn't figure out what he was using.
Amazing stuff.....
Might as well toss in Richard Dutrow's name with the "s" word to this one! That's off the charts, though. We had this discussion before, I think, with Secretariat's Belmont. Didn't they convert his time to a Beyer figure of 132 or something like that?
Ken
Beyer calculated that, had the Beyer Speed Figure calculation had existed during that time frame, Secretariat would have earned a figure of 139 for his 1973 win at the Belmont Stakes.
I love this game.
NOW THAT'S RACING :)
YOUR'E OBVIOUSLY HAVING FUN AT THE RACES
