synthetic races always seem to come up slower then the dirt figures, and its usually related to the pace. For example the triple bend had a 23 and change quarter and a 45 half so it was pretty hard to run a sparkling time given how slow the early portion of that race was run.

For example - the Salvator Mile has a sparkling name and deserves Grade 1 status - and if not for a missing 'e' would be the countrys most important race in my opinion.
