Arkansas Derby Final Fractions
All the "buzz" after the running of the Arkansas Derby has been about the closing fractions of the top four finishers in the race:
After a moderate to slow early pace fractions: Magnum Moon 36.47 Quip 37.13 Solomini 36.81 Combatant 36.30 A similar buzz occurred after the running of the Santa Anita Derby. Was the Justify's 107 Beyer or 114 Brisnet figure "justified"??? Maybe, in my two cents comment...Justify and Bolt D'Oro paired up their previous race....We all got some work to do, in the next 3 weeks...... |

Magnum Moon:
In the Arkansas Derby, Magnum Moon sped out quickly 23.34 but won the race when he got away with a 25.26 fraction to reach 4 Furlongs in 48.60...( on a fair fast track) If we were to match up Magnum Moon with Justify...Magnum will have to run faster by 4 ticks to the 4 furlong marker and 4 ticks faster at the 6 furlong marker which will negate any superior closing fractions from his Arkansas Derby race. The same goes for the other contenders from the same race........ |

Top20 pts contenders for derby by running style
Derby Contenders Early Speed 2018.xls
See Sheet 4 for contenders listed by running style. I honestly do not know how/where to rank Mendelsohn due to the runup issue and how the various splits actually work out. His 9.5 furlong info is from the Trakus charts so its unchanged. With that in mind he looks pretty good. With any upgrade of early fractions he looks even better. Could not find any Gronkowski info. Good luck |

Mendelssohn's 1900 meters converted to 1 3/16th
Converting the 1900 meters times to 9.5 Furlongs; we have
155.185 final time converted after adjustments for run- up and about-distance: 1:53.86 adjusted final time for 9.5 Furlongs Mendelssohn's 9 furlongs time is about 1:47.46 Caveat Emptor!!!!!! These are approximate adjustments (mine--for entertainment purposes) Last edited by lone speed; 04-15-2018 at 08:25 PM. Reason: time adjustments |
