Not only do my splits at least make sense ... but paces in 6.5f Saratoga sprints are NOTORIOUSLY fast.

For instance, take a look at the first 6.5 furlong sprint race run at Saratoga last year.

Knights Cross and Street Magician went head to head through a 21.52 opening quarter going 6.5 furlongs ... the ended up finishing 2nd beat one length and 4th beaten one and a half lengths.

Next out King's Bishop winner Visionaire won the race in time of 1:17.15 over a track that was EXTREMELY dull compared to the one yesterday.

About half of the races run at 6.5fs at Saratoga last year saw a 21 and change opening quarter.
