Assuming your super sonic race over the yielding/firm turf went 103.3 and the last 1/16th was in 6 seconds, then the 5f was run in a putrid 57.3.

While 57.3 on dirt might be real nice, on most turf courses, that's crawling.

For instance, in the first race on the last day of Toga, 25k claimers went 55.2 and 101. In other words, your idea of yielding giving fast times is actually more than a full two seconds slower.

In the fourth race that day, a minor stakes, the 5f and final times were 54.4 and 100.4.

That's almost 3 full seconds faster than your blazing fast idea of what a yielding turf course is.

Are you really this stupid?
