Will let NTamm answer officially, but would say yes. Weather was perfect all day. The heavy rain 24 hours earlier contributed to track being very fast.

Based on the BSF's, Paradise Woods ran about 3.5-4 lengths faster than Irish War Cry, and would have to have been given some betting attention in the Derby itself if she were in the race.

I think some horse won the Frizette a few years ago with a fig in the 50s, but yeah, that was ugly.

How can s hoss who ran the last half mile of a 10 furlong race in 51 earn a 119 ?
2:02 is a 119 ? I'd love to see other examples of this phenomenon. Please spare me the " well the track was slow that day lame excuse. "

Was it Sutra? That was an awful race...might have snuck into the 60s for a BSF.

It was like a 57 or a 59. Just brutal. But this is amongst the lowest I've seen for a non-2yo G1.

@Alabama Stakes, With respect to the AQU figures...they are correct. There's an 18 point difference in time between the Wood and Excelsior, and 7 more to the Gazelle. If you think the Excelsior is wrong, drop the other two as well.

Just like this thread and other articles I have read since last Sat, folks seem to always discount the west coast preps. Just spit balling here, but in the last 10 years, how many derby winners have come out of Santa Anita?
Good performances that are slow are just that

They should since they have been atrocious. The CA 3yo contingent was exposed all the way back in November, when neither Klimt nor Gormley made any impact on the BC Juvenile, despite the race being run on their home track.

The early West Coast preps were indeed weak as they weren't even truly run races, essentially amounting to match races. The Sham featured the seasoned Gormley against recent maiden sprint winner American Anthem, and Gormley just got the better of the latter. Hardly evidence of progression. Both were frightfully exposed in their subsequent appearances featuring more experienced rivals and more contentious pace scenarios.

The Robert Lewis was also a match race, between recent maiden breaker Royal Mo and maiden Irap. Royal Mo predictably led the charge as he was essentially winning his second consecutive maiden special weight. Irap stayed a maiden for a couple more starts despite racing at Sunland Park. Royal Mo was humiliated in the Rebel when facing a full field with a contentious pace.

Besides Gormley and Royal Mo, the other horses CA is offering up are Battle of Midway, Sonneteer, and Irap.

I wouldn't bet Battle of Midway unless he got 3 months off and returned on the grass.

I wouldn't bet Sonneteer even if he ran in a maiden special weight.

I wouldn't bet Irap even if he ran in a maiden special weight.
