Fastest Derby quarter by quarter splits

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Here is how DRF Formulator has them ... and notice the software mistake of using the stretch call instead of the mile call ...



There aren't many 10 furlong races run a year ... but I assume the software will make the same mistake with each one until they replace str with 1m for call 4.

These are the splits I get for the winner, with a more reasonable beaten lengths adjustment than 1 length equals 1/5:

26.15, 23.48. 24.64, 24.27, 24.12

Considering the 2nd and 4th are pretty much around turns, this horse was absolutely flying on both of them.

My gut feeling was that the chart caller has him in a little closer contact with the field than he was at the second call.

Hard to know what you can't see film of though.

I agree, he is probably off on that one.
