Originally, I concluded with Shared Belief, California Chrome and Bayern as my final contenders. Bayern's last paceline stood out as he "blitzed"second turn in 23.0 flat followed with another 23.6 fraction from the 6F marker to the mile marker. (American Pharoah ran almost the same fractions in the 2015 Travers Stakes while losing to Keen Ice in the race. Hmmm, both horses are trained by Bob Baffert) In re-evaluating the race, I zoomed in on the Pacific Classic race won by Shared Belief. Toast of New York finished second in the race but let's focus on the mile part of the race as dictated by Jim Bradshaw. Bradshaw suggested that it's best to evaluate marathon races like the Classic by using the mile time of the races. Many are aware that mile and 1/4 races are not great pacelines to evaluate the match up in many Sartin programs. So let's focus on the mile part of the race and not on the whole race. The contenders: the highlighted pacelines were my original pacelines with the exception of overlooking Toast of New York.

I used Thoromation to evaluate the race; and using the highlighted pacelines:
Bayern- last paceline California Chrome- 3rd paceline using only the mile fractions of the Preakness Shared Belief- 2nd pacelne using only the mile fractions of the Pacific Classic Toast of New York-last paceline using only the mile fractions of the Pacific Classic Attachment 39912 The first screen came up SP--no surprise with Bayern's great Sustained paceline Attachment 39913 the exdc screen Attachment 39914 and the Thoromation screen Attachment 39915 Jim Bradshaw knew what he was talking about!! P.S. My respects for the passing of Shared Belief |

We are all aware of the incidents that happened after the starting gate opened and the objections of the stewards' decisions. But my posts, two years later, are about the importance of Jim Bradshaw's Marathon Matchup method by using the mile fractions for the match up analyses.

Here is the pp of American Pharoah
Attachment 39929 Now we compare the mile fractions of American Pharoah from the 2015 Travers Stakes with Bayern's race in the 2014 Pennsylvania Derby. The pace fractions and turn time are eerily "Identical.":eek: Attachment 39930 Attachment 39931 APharoah: 48.1 for 4 furlongs followed by a 23.2 turn time; followed by a 23.6 fraction to the mile marker Bayern: 47.4 for 4 furlongs followed by a 23.0 turn time; followed by a 23.6 fraction to the mile marker Anyways, we move on...thanks for reading... |
