Not really. The first 3 dirt races (all sprints) at Santa Anita had exacta finishes by maidens, 2 of which were first time starters. If the Echo Eddie was slow, it fit with the form, as Mr. Hinx was coming off a 4th in an allowance behind SA Derby stalwarts Battle of Midway and Reach The World.
Paradise Woods ran her 1 1/16th in 1:42+. She probably galloped out 9f in a faster time than the Santa Anita Derby.
