Those were the only two turn races on the card, but it's important to note that 48.20 and 1:12.65 isn't that slow at Aqu at 9f. It'd probably equate to 46 4/5 and 1:10 4/5 at Hollywood (also a 9f oval), for example. For whatever reason, routes on the main at Aqu have very slow times. 1:13.10 is the average 6F time for all races at 9F, and 1:12 3/5 would fall right in the median of graded stakes @ 9F.
