The route races on the turf are good for one thing and that is to note that while the horse was running at a higher class level in those races, on a different surface and at longer distances, it was maintaining its' form. The horse was very much in contention at the second call in each of those 4 races. Ok, back to the 6 sprint races on the dirt.
You expressed concern over the line 2 speed rating of "87". Well let's look at all 6 of those lines. The speed ratings are 87,83,81,77,75,73. Naturally, the three best speed ratings produced the three highest TE's for the horse. Those three TE's are 2 points apart. And the top two TE's are just .6 points apart and those two races are the two races the horse won. So is line 2 really out of line?
