Marty McGee speculates in DRF that the timer is almost certainly off:
\"* A timing system that almost surely has glitches. Fractions for the ninth race, a one-mile turf race for third-level allowance horses, were as follows: 22.91 seconds, 44.80, and 1:07.76, and the final time of 1:31.41 would be a world record for a mile on turf. The clocking for the other turf race, the sixth, was not as outrageous (fractions of 23.23, 48.17, 1:12.04, and 1:35.93, and a final time of 1:47.51 for 1 1/8 miles). The main-track times seemed within reason, too.\"
Any half-assed figure maker could have told him the timer was either off for both races, or neither. For those horses, the 6th race time was blazing as well. But what do I know, he\'s the paid writer?
