Agree 150%. Who cares about the time. Are horses sent out to set records or win races under conditions? If I had a thoroughbred time would only matter in training as training goes. If I have a horse that knows how to win under most any conditions, the time her or she sets to win is irrelevant.

Pharohs opponents couldnt come within 7 lengths of the slowest time since 1955 let that sink in for a second when you say time doesnt matter.

Time doesn't matter, again, unless you want to put your time figs in the record book to be forgotten except by people like you. What matters is winning races, especially the big ones. And for that matter with your logic . . . then how poorly did the others run, although many likely just hated the rain, the slop and/or the track while one loved everything about and romped. That's why we call it horse racing.
