Does anyone know when they started timing races in the hundredths at Aqueduct? The reason I ask is because I am thinking that when Easy Goer ran his 1:32 2/5, they were still timing in 5ths and they just gave him the fastest possible time when saying that he ran 1:32.40 If they were still timing in 5ths at the time, then EG's actual time was anywhere between 1:32.40 and 1:32.59 which means that with with his 1:32.46, there is an above average chance that Discreet Cat actually broke EG's mark even though he won't get credit for even equalling it. Yes, I know that they are saying that he equalled the record, and by 5ths he did. I was looking at Equibase though and they listed the record at 1:32.40 so DC won't get credited for equalling the record.
