Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Cash Refund (Petionville) lived up to the hype in Saturday's feature at Churchill Downs, running 2nd to Capt. Candyman Can by three-quarters of a length in his first start in stakes company.

Cash Refund (Petionville) Receives 110 Beyer Speed Figure

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Cash Refund (Petionville) has been all the rage recently after his electric effort on opening day at Churchill. The talk has intensified after the Beyer Speed Figure was released for the effort, a massive 110. Its the 5th fastest one turn Beyer of the year, regardless of age and is the fastest one turn figure received by any horse not at Gulfstream. Gulfstream has received a lot of high speed figures this year as Beyer and his staff have had an increasingly hard time pegging accurate figures for races over the track.

The bottom line is the undefeated colt is amongst the fastest horses actively in training.
