While 57.3 on dirt might be real nice, on most turf courses, that's crawling.

For instance, in the first race on the last day of Toga, 25k claimers went 55.2 and 101. In other words, your idea of yielding giving fast times is actually more than a full two seconds slower.

In the fourth race that day, a minor stakes, the 5f and final times were 54.4 and 100.4.

That's almost 3 full seconds faster than your blazing fast idea of what a yielding turf course is.

Are you really this stupid?

Bottom line here is, you said running 57 and change or 1:03 and change for 5 and 5 1/2 furlongs was slow as to indicate I can only speculate the course was a boggy wet mess ie. yielding as listed. I don't know what world you are living in, but this does not indicate it is a slow & soft course. Is it slower than a hard rock/rainless turf course, obvious answer. But was it run in a bog... Have a nice time talking your way out of this one.
