"Quality Road was very impressive in Amsterdam at Saratoga, but timer malfunctioned. Time for 6 1-2f should have between 1:14.70 and 1:14.79"

So that makes the beyer about 93? Will they up in now, lol.

I'm pretty sure the 103 had to factor in 1:14 and high change time.

I know this ... even with the tricky angle - I can't hand time this race to make it go as slow as Moss' equipment has it going.

Also, when I hand time other 6.5 furlong races at Saratoga from last year .. I consistantly get the same slower than posted clocking as I get with this race.

ok, that makes sense then, chart though still shows the wrong time.

I think we're going to have to get the 3 wise men of pace together and form some kind of consensus as to the timing of that race: Moss, CJ, and ......

who's the 3rd?

How dare you not post a link to the bald Randy Moss's twitter page.
It would be more popular than Serling's and maybe even approaching TFM's following.

What? I'd be over 20 followers by now, if I didn't keep kicking people off.

That's only, what, 1000 less that Serling?

I dont get it, updated a couple hours ago it says the time is confirmed, how could it only be a 103 beyer by lowering the track record a full second, no matter how fast it was playing?

Answering your own question. This is why track records are irrelevant.

The correct fractions and time for the Amsterdam IMO:

1/4: 21.16

1/2: 43.66

3/4: 1:07.22

Final: 1:13.45

I hope Joey (Ateam) gets a chance to post today because he had the day off and happened to be up in the Judge's Stand for the race and watched as they re-timed it to confirm the correct internal fractions. He can shed light on the process.

Here's the chart for the race with the original splits and your splits (where different). Clearly, the original splits are IMPOSSIBLE --- the 3rd qtr in particular.

Your splits at least make sense.
