What is not being said is that the race was NOT a world record performance by any of these and the 1:48:1 time was matched by other horses last night. I do not believe there is a 1:46 type of superstar here but several really top colts in this division and Beau Jangles was an overhyped top notch horse but he is NOT an all-time champion like Niatross. Beau stays on a 7/8 mile track and never ventures outside of his comfort zone, until the last 2 weeks. He raced well, just not good enough to beat the top 2, and Brandon Blvd was the best horse last night and he will beat these 2 going forward.
Three points..
First, Agree Brandon Blvd was the best horse and he will absolutely beat both of them moving forward. Switch pp's or trips and BB wins.
Second, any comparisons of BJ and Niatross was always laughable
Third, I believe these 3 will get into the 146 time realms later this year.
Lexington on a nice day, maybe the Pace or even Scioto if the weather cooperates
The times there are ridiculously fast. Most on here think the track is a hair short of a mile.
