Kind of interesting that 4 of the top 6 times are from the Blue Grass.
On that same day, Malathaat finished the 8.5 furlong Ashland in 1:42.94. Her final 1/16th was roughly 6.05. If we estimate that she would have finished the next 1/16th in 6.55 seconds, her time for 9 furlongs would have been 1:49.49 and her final 3/8ths would be under 36.5 seconds. That would put her 4th on that list.
I'm a little skeptical of those final Blue Grass fractions and what they mean for Derby Day.
