(2/2)
• One has Banana Frost 13 points faster
• Another has Icebreak 5 points faster
• A third has Banana Frost 5 points faster

Will be interesting to see which figure ends up being closest to reality.

(1/2) The two baby races at Churchill yesterday must have figure makers scratching their heads. Icebreak’s race was only about 4/5 of a second slower than Banana Frost’s, give or take, yet the figures are all over the place.
I checked three different figure sets:

Nice debut by Icebreak. You don’t see many 2-year-olds give up the lead on the far turn, then come back and re-pass rivals in the stretch.

@BeemieAwards @atTheTrack7 I second this idea

Mashallah who currently leads the 3YO division Beyer wise (albeit a filly, tied with Further Ado) bounces in a first level allowance @ChurchillDowns, stretching out to a mile.

[Chance Moquett @chancemoquett]

Cool to see a lower-level Ratings Race at @HollywoodPenn finish this close together tonight. Avg beaten lengths in comparable claiming races over the last 5 years is 8. This one looks closer to 3.5. Just one race, but another sign that well-grouped fields can create competitive racing at any level.
