Paradise Woods ran her 1 1/16th in 1:42+. She probably galloped out 9f in a faster time than the Santa Anita Derby.

Probably?

I was too lazy to watch the replay and time it myself. She was so far in front of the rest of the horses I thought maybe the outrider just went ahead and caught her before she made it to the 7 1/2 pole.
