The horse who was last early finished 2nd. But yeah, that pace was moderate - but not nearly as slow as the fractions made it appear.

No they can't...obviously.
Like I said - 1:13.72 would have been an even pace for that race. The pace was about 3 lengths slower than 1:13.72 and that aided the winner to victory. The fact that the winner was uncontested on the lead didn't hurt either.
