The problem with the original fractions is not the 1st qtr but the 3rd one. No way the 3rd qtr of a dirt race is FASTER than the 1st or 2nd qtrs (assuming a reasonable pace).

To put those fractions out is laughable on the part of NYRA.

The posted first quarter and second quarter fractions are both 1.30 seconds slow. The posted third quarter fraction is correct.

The 3rd quarter mile seems to fast to believe ... because they have the first two wrong by the same margin.

As long as the 3rd split is slower than first two AND doesn't have the two Captains running sub 22 seconds for it , I'm fine with it.
