Wrong question Boscar. The transitive property of math doesn\'t work with horses.
As much as Blind Luck\'s win over Havre de Grace put her in the lead for the Eclipse award, today\'s extremely impressive win by Havre de Grace puts her back into the lead.
They split two races this year, with HVG winning by several lengths and Blind Luck winning by a nose. HVG beating solid males today is the difference.
That doesn\'t mean Hollendorfer and company don\'t get the chance to move back ahead later.
Today\'s win was very legit. Track wasn\'t particularly fast today, so 1:49 is race horse time. Flat Out came in off two negative numbers, including one earned on a dead rail, so he is as good as it gets for competition this year, outside of Tizway.
Not criticizing Ramon, but it does seem like HVD consistently is wide on all turns in her races. Ramon is one of the best at saving ground, but today was another 3w/2w trip, after a 3w/3w in a short field. She could have a shot in the Classic if she actually got a ground saving trip.
