Race 2 6.5F 12.5k claiming

qtr 22.79 half 22.74

and

Race 5 6F 32k-30k claiming

qtr 22.86 half 22.71

while the faster halfs can be explained, somewhat, by the slow quarters, nonetheless, this is unusual ---assuming, of course, that the GP timer was accurate (a HUGE assumption, it seems).
It was screwed up the other day, I can tell you that.
