If 1:45.25 is a 109 Beyer I would have loved to have seen what sort of figure an actual quality horse could have put up that day.
The track was tremendously slow that day!!!

I believe statebred allowance horses went 7 furlongs in 1:27, or something absurdly slow like that, one race prior.

Tracks obviously don't stay the same speed all the time.
