That pace wasn't all that slow to the 6f call.
The raw pace was 63 and the raw final time was 69.
For the pace to have been even - or avg - in relation to the final time - it would have been 1:13.72
Saratoga is a 1 1/8th mile track - which means that a good portion of the early pace is run around a turn. When you combine that fact with the fact that the track has consistantly been slower than par pretty much all meet long .. you're going to see slow naked fractions in those routes.
