What a monster qualifier, my goodness Closed in 25.1 under wraps
THERE IS WORD GOING AROUND HOP THIS MORNING THAT THESE FAST TIMES ARE DUE TO THE HORSES ONLY RACING 7/8THS OF A MILE. THE "MILE" THAT THE HORSES ARE RACING IS NOT A FULL REAL MILE............. ...ITS 1/8TH SHORT OF A TRUE MILE. THATS WHY EVERYONE IS GOING SO FAST. ITS A FAKE TIME THATS 1/8TH SHORTER IN DISTANCE
Horse visually impressive in addition to fast time. Looks like a beast.Check out the other Q's on same track, same day. Some really nice 3yo pacers in races 6, 8, 10. Coach Stefanos went 3 full seconds (15+ lengths) faster than any other horse on the track that day and had more left in the tank. Horse that finished second in this qualifier, Ultra Image, is a top 4 yo. Closed in 25.4. Stefanos blew by him like it was nothing.
STEFANOS WAS A GOOD 2 YEAR OLD LAST YEAR SO I'M NOT SURE WHY YOURE SO SURPRISED? ALSO THE HORSES AT HOP ARENT GOING A FULL MILE, THE DISTANCE IS 1/8TH SHORTER. BUT YA I AGREE STEFANOS IS A NICE HORSE AS HE WAS LAST YEAR AS WELL. BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO QUALIFY A HORSE SO FAST UNLESS YOURE TRYING TO SELL. EVEN BULLDOG HANOVER DIDNT WANT TO QUALIFY THAT FAST.
Maybe they are only racing 5/8
