Bill...

I am well aware that the Pimilco Special is a grade 3 race nowadays but it is marathon distance so perhaps the trainer wanted to see what he has in Noble Bird. Whether the trainer can aim Noble Bird for the Breeders Cup Classic at a mile and 1/4 towards the end of the year.....

Regarding the use of Epr and Lpr numbers for our topic; let's keep in mind that the EPR consists of two fractions of the early pace and is not "optimal" to break out the energy expenditure. I think that Bris early pace numbers of the first two early pace fractions might be more appropriate. (jmho )
