All 3 of the above races in my post set track records. So for that track it was definitely fast. But as a comparison and looking at the world class sprinters ( W,P & S all US horses) the 110.124 is more in line with a track like the old Calder where they ran their Summit of Speed each year. I would say it was at least 6 LG. slower than most typical US tracks.


I didn't like the fact that the jock didn't reserve some of the horse for the future. Winning by 18.5 lengths. Even through the purse was 2 Million but not smart riding. He did let up the last 50 yards or so.


This horse was looking around in the stretch at something in the infield so he still isn't giving 100% and the jock said he still races greenly.
