WOW.
Impressive
Yes.
Once he got clear, he re-broke and turned it on. Breathtaking race.
That was IMPRESSIVE!! If you didn’t know better, one might think he was running against substandard horses instead of stakes winning quality horses.
He was moving quick enough through the last 1/4 that he set a new stakes record, even though the first 1/2 was rather slow.
Looking at the replay, he looked a bit like a quarter horse when he kicked it in.
I’ve never really been a big fan of his, but he def. seems to be maturing into a really nice horse.
Shoot I missed Fletcher. 
Finally a win. And what a win!

Yes, I caught him. His competition didn’t. 
Link as you all must see, if you haven’t. I got the goosebumps from this. Seriously.
Some of these Tapit are pretty special.
Don’t miles “usually” go in 1:40 or so? This went in 1:32.73! Or is that a common enough G1time? I realize this is a G1, so of course, will be faster. Please excuse if kinda ignorant. I have a stb background and am still learning tbs.
Think of times as multiples of 12. If a 6 furlong race is run in 1:12, that is an average - good time (depending on the length of the race). 1:10 for 6f is very good, and 1:14 is meh…
Sprinters will run in “sub 12” splits. frequently they will run a 1/4 mile (2 furlongs) in 22, or even 21), whereas distance horses will usually run 24 second quarters (or even slower at the end of a long race)
So a top horse should be able to run a mile (a middle distance) in 1:36. Track records for a mile are often about 1:33 – 1:34
Frosted set a record by running a sub 1:33 mile. Wow.
I’ve always been a fan of this horse and one day hoped to see him run a race like that. I’m not disappointed!! WOW! :eek:
“He came out of it great. He was all pumped up after the race. He was happy,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said. "We were just like in shock; speechless, really. It was incredible to watch it unfold. You say to yourself, ‘What’d we do different to make him run like that,’ but it’s hard to say.
