I am not disputing the figures at all but given it was a track record, on a surface that has been fast all meet, I was thinking how much faster would a horse have to go from 104 to say 115, which is what I think of when I think of big speed performances. Would it be say 131 3/5? So thats when I said is it even physically possible.
Lure was the best miler from a speed performance standpoint that I saw race a lot in the states. Dahoss would be pretty close.
