I just went back and did a little research here is the old track records at SA when it was a dirt course.

6f-107.1
6 1/2f-113.3
7f-120 flat
1 1/16th 139 flat
1 1/8-145.4


So in ernest the only race that went faster than any of the previous dirt records were the filly and mare sprint and to be exact it was .10 faster.

SO to me to say the day was a joke just because the track was to fast is completely out there. I really think the times would have been very comparible if the races would have been on the old SA dirt track

Here's a thought the old Dirt track record for a 1 1/4 was 157.4 set by the great Spectacular Bid now do you think the classic tomorrow will be Over or Under the old track record Mark.

My self I say they go slower

slower, but it will be better then 2:00, but that happened from time to time with good horses.

I just wish the pro ride would stop producing such crazy winners and prices, todays Breeders Cup was brutal on form.

time is never irrelevant unless you are winning with a slow time (then you call it irrelevant)

the turf is usually fast because of dry weather

The sprint and Ladies classic and 2 yo fillies were hardly unformful. They were all won by logical horses with logical horses behind.

your argument would hold more water if they had been set by fillies on the same day.

dellinger63 10-24-2008 08:35 PM

not sure of that but let's see 6F

dellinger63 10-24-2008 08:36 PM

Those old records also were set over the course of many years. Not all in one day. Look at the BC days at SA in the past:

1986
J-143 4/5
JF-143 1/5
S-108 2/5
D-201 1/5 (10f)
C-200 2/5

1993
J-142.99
JF-143.08
S-108.76
D-148.35
C-200.83

2003
J-143.62
JF-142.75
S-107.95
D-149.17
C-159.88

So you see that in the F/M Sprint, they went the 6f split today faster than all three previous BC finals times for the boys. You see that Stardom Bound went 1.76 seconds faster than every J or JF winner. You see that Zenyatta went 1.5 seconds faster than the next best Distaff winner. Now, to be fair, it's quite possible that Stardom Bound and Zenyatta could turn out to be all-time horses or at least better than the horses that ran those previous BC times. But it's more likely that the track was playing faster than it ever has than those horses all happened to run exceptionally fast horses all on the same day.

I am just wondering why you are comparing pro ride times to previous dirt times, I think its pretty well established that they are not comparable.

Round Pen 10-24-2008 09:09 PM

King I understand that the Track is much faster and from what I understand the hotter it is the faster it gets. But my point is it was possible on the old dirt track for these horses to run the type of times that they ran today. it doesn't mean they would have but it was possible.

The 2 races for me tomorrow that are very interesting to me concerning time are the sprint and the classic. COuld the sprint run Sub 107 it's extremely possible. And the classic I am not going to be as dramatic and kill myself like Cannon:D but who knows the way the track was today, Could they run 158 and change absolutely but we will see. your thoughts on those 2 races and times tomorrow
