People don't realize that the paces always appear slow going 8.5 furlongs at Del Mar.

Yesterday Alw Race: 24.82 49.62 1:14.13 1:38.17 1:44.36

Zenyatta Race: 23.86 48.84 1:13.64 1:37.28 1:43.24


Alw race first quarter: 24.82 - Alw race final 6.5fs: 1:19.54

Zen race first quarter: 23.86 - Zen race final 6.5fs: 1:19.38

the notable thing was zenyatta coming from last into the teeth of the setup.

a side note- 8.5 furlongs is a short distance for her to be running with her size and talent and the goals she has on the horizon. I know it's only August, and she can "only run what they card" etcetc...
