Roger Stein on Beyer on Zenyatta

So Big Z ran her fourth 1/8th in about 10 seconds? I'm impressed.

Where do you come up with that? If she ran 3/8ths in :38 and change and she ran the half in :49 and change, that would be :11, not :10. I think it was more like :11 2/5 or :11 3/5. She was probably about 13-14 lengths back at the half. She made up about 6-7 lengths during that 1/8th of a mile.
