Well....at the least, it means the horse isn't a slowpoke.

I will say though, I've found that horses who work very fast 1/4 miles without blinkers...are often much more likely to reproduce their good sales preview in a racing situation...than a horse who works very fast going an 1/8th mile with blinkers.

In the past, if a horse is capable of previewing a 1/4 mile in under 21 seconds, they've proven to be almost locks of going on to be fleet footed Graded Stakes winners. Time means something....but it surely doesn't mean everything.
