The track obviously changed speeds before the eyesore that was the Vandy.
The Personal Ensign was obviously also very ugly - and this might be the first time in history that the top 3 finishers in the Whitney Stakes all ran double digit Beyers in their most recent start.
Here is how I have my figures for the day.
Race #1: 84 Pace 93 Final
Race #2: 98 Pace 92 Final
Race #3: TURF
Race #4: 106 Pace 89 Final
Race #5: TURF
Race #6: 108 Pace 102 Final
Race #7: TURF
Race #8: 117 Pace 105 Final
Race #9: 83 Pace 89 Final
Race #10: 116 Pace 117 Final
Race #11: TURF
Put it this way - if you don't believe the track changed speeds - you than believe that Dr. D.F.C. - who was 4th beaten less than 2 lengths at 40/1 in an N1X allowance race - would have been a clear cut 2nd in the Whitney - or would have beaten the pathetic Ginger Punch by 14 lengths had he been allowed to run in the Personal Ensign.
