Shakespeare

Interested to see the # for this race also.  Will definitely be downloading for the Turf Classic on Oct. 1.  Anyone know what Beyer # he got for the race?  Must be getting close to 110 on Beyers and 1 for T-Graph.

Beyer was 108...

Attached are the Thoro-Graph sheets for race 7 at Sar 7/27/5, Shakespeare\'s prior race.

Allan,

Thanks for posting.

Rousing Victory came out of the race and ran a big one, before his bounce in the Man O\' War.

Shakespeare also ran a big one, I assume on Sunday.  

Sir Greeley, ran 7 points better next time out, albeit on a surface switch.

I don\'t know about the others.

I guess Shakespeare could just have moved up 3 more points as a lightly raced 3 year old.  

Would you view Shakespeare differently on October 1, when he races next, if his two races were 1.5 and 0, instead of 3.5 and 0?

Sir Greeley actually came back to pair that number exactly on the grass 10 days later before running the big one on dirt. Also, while that was the only inner grass race that day (opening day), I treated the course as being significantly slower than for the next day-- in other words, I took off more.

On Shakespeare-- he is more likely to bounce with the bigger jump, but as a) a grass horse and b) one who has never gone back, there is a good chance he will pair up either way.
