Are you using the chart for timing? I only ask because Trakus had I'll Have Another going the opening quarter in 22.81.

Yes. I'm using the chart. The same times Formulator uses.

Trakus times typically differ from the offical timer ... however, the difference is virtually always consistent from distance-to-distance within a margin of era no more than about 0.06 seconds tops.

It makes a great back-check for the official timer once you study the differences by distance.

The next question is: What is the collective record of these sub .23 horses in the Preakness?

Congaree really did run a huge race back in the 2001 Derby.
