Per the American Racing Manual, Frosted's 123 is the highest Beyer since they started listing figures in for the Met Mile in 1990.

Three winners have recorded 122:

1994 Holy Bull (1:33.98)
2002 Swept Overboard (1:33.34)
2005 Ghostzapper (1:33.29)

Frosted ran a time of 1:32.73

-O

Yeah. It's like this right now in quite a few Olympic sports.

That progression is peanuts compared to some human achievements.

We're living in the age of information. What these trainers, coaches, and athletes are doing present day is revolutionary. Training habits abandoned for something completely unique and complex.

Knowing this I hold great restraint when comparing to the past. Records don't mean as much.
