What exactly does a horse have to do go above 120? Strike equaled Groovy's track record (Groovy received a 133 or 132 and Strike received a 111) Just doesn't make much sense to me...

Have you seen a horse in the past several years that looked at fast as Ghostzapper?

Groovy obviously ran that time on a slow track, Strike ran it on a lightning fast one. That is the difference.

A 22 point difference seems a bit much, Commentator has run a few big numbers...

Groovy ran that in the mud and won by 5 3/4 lengths. Fabulous Strike ran it on a lightning fast strip and only won by 1 1/4 lengths with only 3.75 lengths back to Silver Edition in third.
