Not only that, when Freddy tries to point this out, you respond to EVERY OTHER REPLY in the thread, but conveniently ignore his.

Because Freddy's post was very dumb. The final time was obviously correct because it's consistant with how every other 6.5f race at Saratoga is timed.
As I've said hundreds of times before - and even guys like Steve Crist, Beyer's people, and NYRA's own clockers completely didn't/don't seem to realize or have the slightest clue of - is that the 6.5 furlong fractional clockings at Saratoga come back a certain set amount faster compared to other sprint distances.
If you watch the race - you'll see both ran insanely huge races. The clocking for that race was consistant with how every other 6.5f race at that track has been timed for as far back as I remember...with only one exception ... the '09 Amsterdam when everyone got to showcase their misunderstandings of that specific track and distance.
