baby races are different for any number of reasons, but the MOST unique thing is that these animals are LEARNING to apportion their speed.

6th race - Aqueduct - April 06, 2006
Pgm Horse Win Place Show
6 Imperial Zip 18.40 5.90 4.60
7 Mr Sam I Am 2.80 2.40
9 Back Door Deal 4.70

They tip their hand by running a good race to the second call right before they graduate, regardless OFTEN of how they finish up as this readout will attest. If this were a straight contest for winners, one would strongly downplay the 6's chances late, but this one GAINED from that experience to graduate today.
