Steve:

I was curious if the Churchill main track was particularly slow this morning? If Twice the Appeal's work was ok, was 1:15 about an average time for 6 panels?

I wasn't here for it which is why I cited Mike's take. He worked at 6a instead of the scheduled later session. He went in :13.2, :26.0, :38.1, :50.2, 1:02.4, 1:15.3 and out in 1:29.1 (7f) and 1:43.2 (1m), and even if the track was sluggish before the break, it seems like an ordinary effort. The track was certainly fast after the harrows.

Steve, this is really great stuff with these updates and is most appreciated. Between these write-ups and the show, a player has everything they need to have an advantage playing in a huge pool like the Derby. Keep up the great work, just want you to know that it is most appreciated!
