California Chrome

Any reactions? A pretty massive performance in what must be the best Dubai World Cup ever, as far as the standard of contestants goes. I have that down as a performance in the TG neg 4 range ! I\'m very interested in how Thoro-Graph are rating that race , will you post the card with updated figs as a ROTW like you guys did last year?

Pretty quick by the clock, as the surface seemed to be playing slow.  The WC much faster than the derby (that winner a toss if he comes here).  

Effort of the day for me was the mile winner - 1:35 and change.

One Man Band gets about a 2 points new life top in my own amateur ratings, which equals to about a neg 0.67 TG-wise. The Meydan Dirt has been very kind to inside speed pretty much all season though, so I really think that performance to California Chrome must be right up there with the best he\'s done all his career, the saddle even slipped quite a bit entering the straight.
