When a horse wins, you can never be sure how much faster it could have run.
Ideal won too many races, in places where time does not matter to trainers and drivers, and where every horse in a race is running stratgically rather than tactically.
-
Again:
"Ideal" would likely have not been able to deal with the faster paces of Lutin D'Isgny in the 1984 and '85 Internationals or Reve du'Don in 1990 or '91 when the International was at Yonkers.

The horse was parked ALL FIVE TURNS ON A HALF-MILE TRACK.
He sat there, stalked, and won when asked. Push-button horse with a lot more in the tank than he needed to show, hence the slow time. The French aren't obsessed with time, and the track was a highway the next year.
If the field was so weak, why did Ideal pay 9-2?
-
And of course, I forgot to include Peace Corps, who beat Reve du'Don in the 1991 Internation with a much better trip (as Reve du'Don was parked the whole way in the '90 International and parked for a mile in the '91 International).
-
And of course, I forgot to mention Peace Corps, who beat Reve du'Don in the '91 Internation with a much easier trip.
the driver also showed great patience and confidence in his charge. awesome driver! what's his name?
