Game On Dude's Beyer Speed Figure for the Pacific Classic is 109. #delmar

Keeps creeping up, 105, then 106, now 109...should be 120 by this evening.

Crazy, huh? Whatever the fig, it was a sublime performance.

Getting there.

I think we all know Moss just didn't time this on a whim. But that is great, I want the word out there that timing of races is bad. Hopefully we'll see some improvement. I don't, however, agree with the 159.74 time either. I think Moss is just being conservative.

Delmar is reviewing the race for timing accuracy.

Yes, they are consulting Randy Moss to get the real story.

Amazing they won't just use the Trakus time, but then again it isn't. They would have to revise 2012 too. Dullahan ran faster than Game On Dude, even when the time is revised. That is pretty easy to prove too.

so, why use trakus if you aren't going to USE it?

I have no idea. It is one thing to have outdated technology, quite another to have old and new and choose the old. Only in horse racing...

I read they aren't going to revise the time, also not shocking. It would have opened them up to having last year's time questioned as well, since Dullahan definitely ran faster.
