So variant isn't part of the equation, just how fast other horses seem to be running over the track?

I actually do not think that the track was playing abnormally fast, I think that first timer you mentioned is probably a really fast horse, he did win easily by 5. The other main track races weren't super fast either....

Lets see ... a track record was broken by a 3yo 4th-time-starter who's only prior career win came in a mcl race at Calder.

A horse beaten 7+ lengths at Calder last time out barely won a MSW race in 1:21 and high change over a Michael Mareina trained 17/1 shot first time starter. Curlin won his debut by a city block going 7fs at GP in 1:22

A Danny L Miller trained first time starter was 1/5th of a second off of a 4 year old track record for six furlongs.

Unusual Song ... 10K N2L claimer off of 12 straight defeates ran 1:16 and change in victory.

Yeah - the track wasn't abnormally fast today.

Just sit in the back seat and keep your mouth shut.
