Yeah, but that's a final time figure that doesn't factor in pace.

Palace Malice chased fractions of 23.11, 46.66, and 1:10.95 -- he stuggled home a winner through a final quarter in a standard-bred like 27.58 seconds in the 2013 Belmont.

This year, the fractions were much slower and the racing surface much faster.
