You don't take a jugs gun to Joba's fast ball you just hope that he performs well.
I don't trust GP's timers ever.. Last year all the bloated figs horses never replicated there GP form thru the year. The race had a very fast opening 1/4 of like 23 ish..Lots of races with much more accomplished horses have had first 1/4's of 25ish.. She may suck but that 71 just doesn't seem right at all at least in my mind and to my eye??

I suppose I shouldn't complain because the people that like the history and tradition continue to absolutely pound these horses at the windows.
If you don't trust the time, get out a sundial and re-time it.
